Since the rework I've viewed building damage as being a nice luxury on Gragas; it's good on him, especially pen items, but he really doesn't need it at all. Usually the most damage I'll buy is Sorc Shoes, Liandry's and IBG, which I get more for the slow field than the damage. But I've had full-tank games where I've still done well and even been quite high up the damage to champions graphs. With that in mind, I see no reason to ever go full AP - you lock yourself out of using a lot of your utility, because you'll be too squishy to get into the thick of a fight properly, and your damage isn't so much better that it's justified. Most full AP Gragas players I see do kind of well early on, but then turn into feeding machines once teamfights start and they can at best trade kills even with their lead.
