I like 21/9/0 masteries, mpen marks, mana regen/level seals, ap/level glyphs, and movespeed quints... Flat ap just doesn't really help him early, and early power is the only real reason to get it.. early game it gives him about a total of 10 more damage on his entire attack chain, and as far as last hitting it only makes his turrets hit for 3 more damage.., the movespeed will be much more useful to help him kite and position himself better.

Then, I go pretty strong AP early and only build defensive items after midgame, as his kit lets him be very safe early and very strong mid-game.

Meki Pendant, boots, pendant->chalice, boots-> sorc shoes, get deathcap, after this, you can get either a negatron cloak or a chainmail if there is somebody who is killing you (although really, with these items you should be raping people...). Then finish AUG, then finish the item you started (Abyssal Scepter or Zhonya's Hourglass), then get the other one.. last item if the game goes that long really depends on what is going on... Lich Bane if you are doing well as a last item will make you REALLY scary, he can make good use of the proc, movespeed, and health, and with that build he will be around 900AP. Otherwise, another good 6th item for him is GA... on top of zhonya's his turrets will be able to attack forever if people try and focus him. If you are really worried about physical damage, thornmail or frozen heart, really worried about magic damage, Banshee's Veil..
