I don't think you should have both morello and Athene and I find that the only good use to zhonya would be the active, for you have no HPs to really resist damage.

I would replace Morello with Liandry in your build. And either a RoA or Rilay for Zhonya. I know active is really good, actually, but for Vel to use it properly you need a really well coordinated team that can peel for you when you come out of stasis, since he has little cc and no movement abilities. Otherwise I would advise it only against strong AD assassins Really dependent on burst.

You don't really need the high ap, since most damage comes from base and passive, you need CDR, penetration, and, well, Deathcap is just too good to overlook.
