The biggest reason he isn't used Top is because his lack of mobility makes him extremely susceptible to early ganks. Even with his W, Viktor is an extremely slow champion and since top turret is furthest from the middle of the lane it makes him extremely vulnerable. Mages that typically go solo top like Kennen, Vlad and Swain either have high amount of sustain, tankiness or mobility.

I suppose getting Augment: Power might actually be good in a solo top situation due to the health, health regen and mobility, but you'd sacrifice quite a bit of damage by not getting Augment: Death and utility from not getting Augment: Gravity. I wouldn't really recommend Viktor top anyways, though.
