I guess in a way you can almost call it a pitiful hatred. Obviously, she's never ever going to forgive him for what he did to her, and considering the explanation behind his imprisonment, she doesn't consider him reformed or much improved. (In other circumstances, BONDS would be enough, but the City's so unstable that she can't trust that.)
AS SUCH, things like talking to him and teaching him Dueling and trying to "help" him aren't actually manifestations of her desire to help Gamzee; she's working both in the hopes that she might be able to prevent him from harming someone else at the source, or else will be observant enough to see when he is going to slip and strike again, and thus do something about that.
She feels that it's obvious nobody can trust Gamzee to keep himself in check, and to be honest, none of the trolls are really striking her as competent enough to keep him in check either. So in a weird way, Ruka is taking an odd measure of responsibility, because -- to her, it doesn't matter so much if she gets hurt in the process if it means someone else won't.
