^^ Morello is a really, really poor choice on him. It's only worth while getting if the enemy has like 40% life steal or there's a shen/mundo with Stark and Warmogs/SV.

Nashor's Tooth offers higher than on his autoattacks (Which, yes, AP kogmaw DOES auto attack, and for a large part of the game actually does more than AD kogmaw, especially after getting Nashors - it is a massive damage spike.)

Athene's Unholy Grail offers the mana sustain which dear sweet jesus does he ever *NEED* if one is not particularly careful (And that does not necessarily entail careless, just anything near or below average)

Finally, if you must get health, your core should at least be Rylai - Liandry is not worth it, you are a BURST attacker, and if you're going to kill someone - it'll be less than 4.20 seconds on average. Yes that includes 3.4k HP/175+ MR tanks if you have a Void Staff.

If you REALLY need even more health, substitute your Archangel for a Rod of Ages. No, I don't care when you get it, it's still a worthy substitution. And that applies for anyone that can use ArchAngel.

TL;DR (*SHAAAAAAME THE NONBELIEVER*)

Mana Sustain; REQUIRED + careful management of Artillery stacks - they cost 400 mana at max. Archangel, Athene's Grail, and Rod of Ages are all appropriate here - Morello is not as it's simply not slot-efficient compared to its' competitors.

Damage Spike items; Nashor's Tooth, Rabbadon's Deathcap(Durr) and Lich Bane.(No, it's not a "luxury item" - Barrage is 1 second at max rank, rape with it.)

Health, if required; Rylai, Rod of Ages, Warmogs. Liandry should be harshly considered against his damage output.

Defense; Don't *ALWAYS* get Sorc shoes, fucking look at the opponent, their CC levels, damage types, and focus, and buy appropriately. Zhoyna/Abyssal can be excused, however Grail far outclasses Abyssal in priority.

Thank you for reading :U
