Going AP/Tanky would raise your support capability and survivability, though you'd miss out on Attack Speed if you don't get Nashor's or Rageblade. I think the question is: Is it that your offense is poor, or that you die too quickly for your auto-attacks to be effective?

It might be that you're not focusing on farming enough in the early game to get the necessary items quickly enough to be effective (or, to put it another way, it could be that your build is fine, but you're having difficulty playing it properly). There's still too little information to really offer good advice.

SurrealD: Q isn't very helpful in the laning phase (it's nice for harrasment, but you can use Righteous Fury for that too, and you need to focus on farm), and it's also more mana intensive than all the other abilities. So one line of thought is to max it last, though you'll always want at least 1 before 6 for the slow. Of course, if you can, you should level abilities according to the situation and what you can predict, but in a vacuum it makes sense for many play-styles to level Q last.
