All the old-ryze builds are still viable, and now, you can actually build pure-AP items for damage(Death Cap, for example).

Basically, tear>boots>catalyst/shroud/BV/Revolver>Frozen Heart>WotA/RoA>Archangels, throwing in Chalice for when you need MP5+MR for fighting other AP-mids during the laning phase. Finish out with a void staff or deathcap for damage, RoA or Abyssal for tank.

And as far as damage comparisons go, tank Ryze does more damage now, as long as he builds Archangels + 1 AP item(Choice of WotA, RoA, or Void).
