It's pretty bad.

Kog's AP ratio on W is not high enough to build AS/AP items (malady/nashor's) like Kayle does (even at 2000 HP the ratio is only .2 compared to Kayle's .4 which makes a TON of difference).

Kog's W does not work with spell vamp so bloodthirster is just a flat out better sustain item. Blade of the ruined king is great though.

Phantom dancer is a good item but since your build has no IE it's not going to help you nearly as much as it could be.

Of the defensive items floating around Banshee's veil is currently the weakest. Lots of champs have ways to poke the shield down easily and outside of that it doesn't provide enough stats for your single defensive item. You're better off with randuin's vs diving AD champs like olaf/nocturne/zed or a GA for general use. Warmogs and mercurial scimitar are also good vs APs.
