I'd say AP Nautilus is pretty much unviable; all of your abilities that have good AP ratios also have long cooldowns and/or aren't very reliable to hit with. Your shield will do a lot of damage but it'll barely last any noteworthy length of time as you don't have the bulk of tank Nautilus. You can mitigate it with cooldown reduction but by that point you should really be asking yourself what the point of going AP was in the first place.

Splash AP like from an Abyssal Scepter or maybe a Kage's Last Breath is okay, but itemizing specifically for it isn't a good idea.
