I actually think she should not build as an AP Tank, but rather and AS/On-Hit Brusier: You go jungle with Sated Devourer, Titanic Hydra and the rest HP and health sustain.

Why Sated Devourer? Three of your four on-hit effects (Innate, Q and R) are persistent effects, whether they are permanent or temporal, thus making them more efficient as the champion is melee and can proc. it faster. You don't only dish out extreme DPS with Q's and R's bonus damage, you also tank yourself so fast with the Innate that can reach Tahm Kench's E level of defense with ease and not much lost.

Additional to this, by building Titanic Hydra and enough HP you'll get enough DPS, as this plus E can reset you AA timer 4 times (And TH's on-hit damage helps the previous paragraph). Top it high base damage on her abilities, abilities that both scale with your max. HP and the targets' HP and the possible mixed damage output makes so that you simply cannot be duel with.
