His entire kit scales off of either Health or ability power, and even then stacking AP doesn't look all that appealing, despite considering all the fun health & AP items. I haven't tried him since the rework, but i think a magic shred build would be interesting

Sunfire Cape, Wit's End, Thornmail, Abyssal Scepter, Dead Man's Plate, Ninja Tabi / Mercury Treads

Mostly tank, that would sub as another magic damage threat against squishies. Wit's and Sunfire offer good waveclear, and nice dueling. Getting a Thornmail 3rd for the large armor and synergy with taunt, using the passive to proxy health, as well as deal more magic damage. 4th could be either dead man's or abyssal, depending on enemy comp, but both have their perks. Like if Wit's and Mercury Treads is enough to tank an utility mage or sustained mage (Karma / Swain as examples) then dead man's 4th, but if it's not, i would get abyssal with tabi.
