Sorcerer's (Best boots, maybe Mercury's late-game), RoA (Core on him), Athene's (Combined with blue, you're not Swain anymore, you are The Raven), Rylai's (The slow in your ult is awesome), Zhonya's (Your ult will keep working), Rabaddon's (More AP), Deathfire (If there is a HP-Stacking fed champ, it will be increased by Torment), Lich Bane (If you can time your spells, a Torment + Lich Bane proc is devastating) and Void Staff (If the enemy team is stacking MR) are good picks on him as far as I know. Usually it's Sorcerer's, RoA Athene's, Rylai's, Rabaddon's, Zhonya's.

The rest of AP items: WotA (Only if you're top and want stack it with the AP mid), Morello's (Only if against a heavy HP-Regen champ like Mundo or another Swain), Archangel's (Never, it will take  an eternity to get it fully-stacked), Abyssal Scepter (Only if both teams are heavy AP) and Mejai's (Only if can keep the stacks without rushing RoA).

For Summoners, always go Flash (High utility summoner spell) and Ignite (It's increased by Torment, and they both are a perfect finisher)
