The only AP you normally need is that from dorans ring and masteries. Normally in runes go full armor pen. and then through in either dodge and CDR or all MR per level or mana regen and CDR. I mostly get MR per level because I like having an extra 40 MR later in the game so I don't get blown up by AOE if I dive people in cougar form. I'm very smart and tricky about using my cougar form and have puled off some amazing ganks so long as I have the element of surprise.

BTW there are three reasons why using spears without blue and/or maxing them early is bad. They are very slow and get blocked by pretty much everything i the laning phase and the mana cost on them is as much as most champions ultimates making them drain your mana poll quickly once you get them to a level where they will actually do damage.
