I wouldn't advise straight AP items. Why? You want hybrid items for the multitude of effects they give. Skarn benefits far more from AD than AP. Look at his scaling, look at what skills are used. Your main damaging skill is Crystal Slash, which does AD on each strike, AP on every other. Not to mention his Shell, which gives a huge haste boost. Yes, it's better with AP as well, but the big bonus in that is the haste. Outside of that, the other two are wanted more for their utility than their damage.
