Ap Shaco can still use decieve well once he gets Lich Bane, and his 2-shiv active still benefits from the bonus damage of decieve, not to mention that it is easier to build 500 AP than 300 AD, meaning his E scales a lot better throughout the game on AP as opposed to AD, the key is actually the boxes though, if you can decieve behind them and drop a box where they will go then they have nowhere to run as you unload a lich bane proc and 2-shiv point blank in the back. 175% of your AP in a moment, then if they run past the box then the fear will set in letting you 2-shiv them again and the box will shoot them the whole time.

AD Shaco does sustained damage, giving the enemy a moment to counter attack, and ADCs will destroy him the moment he shows up. AP Shaco does crushing amounts of burst damage, and if you can get the clone to die close to them then decieve in, 2-shiv in the back and Lich Bane in the back that is 275% of his AP. That is better AP scaling in a single rotation than even Annie brings to the table, and that is without boxes.
