Just go MPen and AP Runes. You dont need Mana because the damage you will deal more is higher than the mana you will get with these crap runes.

Build him Tanky Mage, dont go for Burst. WIth Hourglass and Abyssal you are tank enough to deal with two enemies, only a bit fed, you can kinda do kills at 3v1 and survive and if you are totally fed you will win even a 5v1. Kinda depends on enemies :P Also pretty uncommon and just fiction :D However he can deal great vs carries, with a thornmail (rarely used) for example you will heal so much damage that it will be a pain to kill you for any ad champs.
