Glass cannon lux is my preference. She does not need survivability, as her shield is enough to withstand most pokes with high enough AP, and her kit synergizes very well with attack from well out of range of almost all champions.

To that end, I build:

Sorc boots (can later be turned into CDR boots)

Rabadon's Obligatory Deathcap

Void Staff

Archangel's Staff (take the tear early, such as after the chalice)

Athene's Unholy Grail

Lich Bane

The final build leaves you quite squishy, although you'll have moderate resistance to magic-based pokes and a stellar shield. However, your damage is stupidly high, and it is perfectly possible to 1/2 the ADC's health with a single Ult (which is only on a 24-32s cd). With intelligent use of your CC, it is very challenging for any enemy to get close enough to hurt you before dying to a series of spells and supercharged auto-attacks.

There are some counters to glass cannon lux, such as Rengar or Evelynn. If you have one of them against you, you may want to take some survival, such as a BV or RoA. (I always ask for an Eve ban at present, as she is obviously broken in tandem with DFG).
