Something I can answer! So, you want to compare the way elise is built (tanky with cdr and mpen) with AP elise, i'll try to explain it clearly :D Elise has an amazing base damage with both spells and AA, with just some mpen from haunting guise and sorc shoes. Her damage scales well with AP, but there are some bad things: the damage of her spells (besides volatile spiderling) need big ammounts of AP to be actually noticable; the scaling damage of her ult - AA and spiderlings - need her to be in meele range, but as she has built lots of AP, she is not enough tank, which leads to another problems: if she is not tanky she can't deal the huge chunk of damage that she has in her meele form in teamfights and, elise is a diver, she loves to dive squishy targets with repel, and she needs to be tanky for it. Hope I helped :)
