Yup, you can play AP maokai and have some success. But RoA and other AP items are just not suited to his jungle build, which, whatever you can say about it, is usual for him nowadays.

Tbh, I dont really understand why do you value jungle mao so low. He has fair clearing speed and fits very good into most teams with his strong early ganks. He can win games by shutting down enemy lanes and he usually allows his teammates to snowball from the very beginning. On the other hand, what can lane Maokai offer to us except for some mediocre-to-good early duels ? Imo, nothing really valuable. And I write this relying on my own experience and my own gameplaying (I dont even know who this Snoopeh guy is :P )
