"So, if you're a Skarner, building AD is the only way to make full use of this new attack speed."

What new attack speed? The AS buff on his Q used to be on his W, so this has nothing to do with the rework.

"So why would you choose between two primarily AP champs with two ranged CC E's, except one is better in almost every category?"

Because Elise is not 'better in almost every category'. She can't hope to match him for damage output at any stage of the game and his scaling is a lot better.

Also, Skarner's E is almost never going to have as long a cooldown as Cocoon in practice because he loves to itemize for CDR and he has his passive.
