I used to be a HUGE Abyssal Scepter guy, and loved the item.

But you guys DO realise that Riot nerfed it right? They wanted to shift its focus toward more melee/close range tanky jungle mages rather than seeing it on all of their mids.

So what did they do? They made the aura range go from 1000 --> 600. Yes, 600 range. That is the range of Ignite. Ignite requires you to be fairly close to an enemy champion. A lot of casters have ability ranges far exceeding ignite, however. That's why I don't build Abyssal as much anymore on mid casters. You gotta be close for you to really benefit from it.
