Usually, hybrid champs work by having AP and AD work on different abilities, or at least different components. However, having your AP translate to physical damage is fine here, since his damage would remain consistent. You could technically switch the damage to magical, though at this level it wouldn't drastically change the champion's core damage.

Regarding your ultimate, if you want your ult to panic enemies you should make the ability indicate the target that they're being tracked. You should also tone down the damage. The base damage is already larger than 's, and with the high scaling could easily one-shot most non-tanky champions. If you don't want to reduce the damage too much you could also switch the damage type to magical. The benefit of this is that A: it'll distance it from 's ult, and B: it'll allow the attack to benefit from damage mitigation. If the enemy team is trying to counter you, they'd build up armor, and so your ult would still be able to shred through them.
