A tanky yi is just weird, given that his abilities are very attack oriented, and not determinedly defensive. An AP yi sounds weird, but with 40% CDR, alpha strike at max rank is a 6 second cooldown ability that has a 1:1 AP ratio, plus good base damage that hits four targets. Put some spell vamp in an AP build, and he's beastly.

I always have trouble laning with yi and getting success, so Jungle Yi is my favorite too. My final build doesn't have an IE, bash if you want, but an early game Madred's Razors (AKA Jungle Rape) turns into a Bloodrazor late game, so I think it balances, especially vs. higher health opponents.
