I don't think there is a way to build him AP, ranged carry and even melee glasscanon is a bad build. Once you shoot out all your abilites in one form you have to switch to keep dealing damage. Especially if your current form is Hammer, then you have to go ranged to finish off the enemy and if you switch to Hammer you have the risk of a melee champion which is, well, going melee. That's why he is best played off-tank. With recommended build I'd also recommend Ghostblade, MoM, Manamune is also good, with Black Cleaver you can max stacks immediately but it's not a good item cuz Jayces abilities deal magic damage (unless you build him a ranged carry). Gunblade might be a good item, haven't tested it yet, but my theory is that his abilites would proc spell vamp with diminshed effects, his W would benefit from AP, in ranged form W will return a good portion of health quickly. In Hammer form, E would return a good amount of health against someone with huge amounts of health. And the active slow from the item is a nice thing.
