The main reason why it works kind of on him, is that he scales so badly with AP that it really doesn't matter what you get for him... AD items actually add damage more quickly for him than AP items do, just because they increase his natural AD and champs can spam auto-attacks, while his abilities mainly only scale off him raising the skill level. It's the same reason why a tank build works for him decently, because he can buy nearly all tank items and still do about the same damage.
