I'm afraid, I have to agree with the 3 pre-posters. I tried to find a viable way to play hybrid Varus, since I once thought the same as you, FrostyShots. However, my early game wasn't too good and mid- to lategame I wasn't more than a utility champ or maybe a tank-shredder at best (if I managed to get enough W-stacks).

By now I find AD caster Varus (not the crit-meta, but a full damage caster) to be the build that works best for me. Haven't tried full AP Varus in a proper game yet.

I'd also say that hybrid Varus needs at least one good item to offers a decent AP-scaling combined with better AD-stats than Gunblade or Rageblade. Gunblade is nice to have even on AD Varus, while Rageblade could be good to boost W-stacks, if there wasn't the option to simply build Nashor's and go full-AP.
