He's very viable as AP, but you have to get the items quickly to make him noticable (ie. AP Carry!). Default items I usually get: AA, Sorc Boots, Rabadons, Mejais (As you're staying far back, its VERY easy to get 20 stacks up and running).

Last items are situational and usually luxury. This includes: Void Staff (if they build magic resist), Rylai's Crystal Sceptor, Lich Bane (sometimes you can't help but get hit by gap closers), Zhonya's Hourglass (sometimes they focus you and this gives you a few seconds of time, as your team demolishes them).

Start your build by maxing E. It is your slow (only chance of survival), DPS, and minion cleaner (if they tend to push, otherwise last hit). Feel free to get a point in W to last-hit/harass.
