I think his AP ratios are just going down to .7, I hope. Even then, he will still does an ass-ton of damage. He has higher base magic damage than Annie and 1 more additional offensive spell than Annie so in that regard it makes sense he takes a small hit.

But, let me say this, I think the nerf is totally unnecessary - his cooldowns are quite long (Annie can outshine him in DPS with a 3 second Q spam with just 20% CDR) and his spells are different from your standard nuke mechanics (a lateral AoE, a DoT AoE, and a DoT). With your E-ability (the DoT) being the only true guarantee of doing it's full damage, it's just unnecessary to nerf his spells' damages. Sure, if he lands every single ability your quite f*cked, but that's if he does - and then he has to deal with cooldowns.
