I agree that AP Skarner is not so great. What I meant about being not afraid to get AP is consider tanky AP items that fits you current game. For example Abyssal against mages or Grail (yes, very viable as far as I tried it), maybe Hourglass, some may favor Rageblade as Skarner maintain stacks easily, some likes sustain with Gunblade (and that ranged slow! as Skarner has no dash). The point is if you favor ending game winning with only 30 AP, it's perfectly cool. But Skarner is spammy champion with nice AP scalings, so really allow yourself to get some more AP if items fits your role and style. Not AP Skarner, just hybrid off-tank and I assure you it really works great.

WHERE THE HELL YOU GET THAT SKARNER IS BLUE DEPENDANT???

Seriously. I can't see that in any angle of his jungling. You may even donate (or lose) your fist blue and clear fine. Even gank after. Done that myself quite few times. Build early philo and you forget about getting blue. Always donate it to your mana mid or top/bot (depends on map side). '''Skarner is not blue dependant in any way. '''Where did you even get that? Shurelia, sheen, also frozen heart or anything of mana/regen you like and all mana problems are solved for you. So please explain how the hell do you manage Skarner to be blue dependant jungler..? Spam spells all day long mindlessly..?
