AP Aatrox is as viable as AP Nocturne.

It isn't.

Here's the problem with AP Aatrox:

1) It reduces the effectiveness of his Q and W, which are pretty damn important on him. The passive on his W is something that should be exploited, not ignored. Not to mention that he turns into a walking nuke when Blood Price is activated.

2) The cooldown on his ult automatically renders building AP on him rather useless. Yeah, it'd be a nice chunk of damage, but he can't do it repeatedly. He has to wait 70-100 seconds before he can do it again. Which that combined with Blades of Torment isn't going to be enough sustained damage to kill anything unless you're stealing kills. Which he's made for killing people.

3) Probably the simplest of all- he scales better with AD.
