No, I would not recommend Will of the Ancients for Twisted Fate. If you want an AP build, you need to rush Sheen and Rabadon's for your damage to even be worth discussing. After that, you need (in no particular order) Lich Bane, health, and maybe some spellvamp. If you insist on getting spellvamp early, stop at the Hextech Revolver - that's plenty, and it gives a good amount of AP for its cost. Build more AP before continuing on to either Hextech Gunblade or Will of the Ancients.

See, the thing is that you have to get close to do the vast majority of your damage, even just your burst. Therefore, you have to be in reasonable range for the enemy to get to you. You either need crazy movement speed and Cleanse or some decent amount of health just to complete your shortest burst. That's why I always build Rod of Ages first thing - I don't have to worry about getting more health for the rest of the game after that, and that amount of health makes me a less viable target for primary focus. I build TF as hybrid, but I imagine that Rod of Ages + Lich Bane + Rabadon's + Hextech Revolver would be an excellent build. Don't quote me on that unless you include that I'm not sure.
