Veigar is designed to be extremely fragile but able to quickly cause a teamfight to become a losing battle for the enemy team as they lose their AP carry instantly and usually their AD carry a few seconds later if he's aware of how his kit works. The only defensive item I ever build on Veigar is Zhonya's Hourglass - but that's mostly because the 100 AP makes it impossible not to pick up. Trying to negate his squishiness is futile as survivability only makes him die a couple seconds later, as he's normally public enemy number one in teamfights. Pop your hourglass and your teammates should come in with their CC to get you out of a bad situation. Duo queue with a good tank or tanky jungler if you have to and get a good roaming party up once laning phase ends. Your teammate's first order of business in teamfights is to keep you and your AD carry alive as long as possible for maximised DPS.
