Here's the thing, Skarner is kindof like Vi, he does large ammounts of sustained damage with high bases, but his scaling isn't amazing. It's more efficient to build him tanky so he can apply more hard cc to the teamfight and lock down the enemy carry for longer. If you get a damage item on him it's a Tri Force and maybe Wit's End.
