At 16% max health per auto you need 7 autos to do their entire healthbar and that's before any sort of MR on average doubles that amount. If the target has 3000 health (pretty beefy tank amount) then W is still only doing just under 200 damage an auto (again, before resistances), an AD build will be doing much more than that.

Not to mention that in order to get 1000AP you need to stack Deathcaps. People don't hit that number anymore with a standard non-meme build unless they're Veigar or another champion who can artificially increase it. AP KogMaw doesn't really rely very much on W at all, prefering to poke with ult.

If you want to rely on W then attack speed is the way to go. If you do 6%HP damage per auto... then doubling your attack speed to do 12% in the same amount of time takes far less work than needing an extra 600AP to do that.
