Firstly, 205% for the entire combo, and an additional 168% over time is not poor AP scaling. However, it's true that there are two builds on Viktor, magic pen and AP, and full AP.

The core items on Viktor are Sorc Shoes, Rabadon's, and Void Staff.

Which build you use depends on whether you need to burst a target down, or you simply want to poke. Liandry's + Rylai's is the classic mpen combo, and shreds the health of tanks and squishies alike, but it reduces burst potention. DFG + Hourglass on the other hand will allow you to 100-0 a target later on, in around 1-2 seconds, depending on how good you are.

In regards to Lich Bane:

With the recent changes to his kit, and namely his Q, many people are playing him with Lich Bane, which gives Viktor extra sustained damage and burst. If you can get in close enough to the enemy to autoattack after the Q, then you should take Lich Bane. If you can only stay back and poke with e, forego the Lich Bane.

As an afterthought, Abyssal Scepter is almost never used due to the short range of it's aura (700) and its niche as AP comp vs AP comp.
