Before I explode, I'll start being rational:

With that build you are completely ignoring Fiora's design, kit, and overall flow. Fiora only has 1 ability that scales off of AP, her Riposte, and it has a 6 second cooldown which means it can not be spammed, which means it can not be relied on to do constant damage to the enemy or keep you alive. First, Fiora was designed to be -the- AD Bruiser, which means she -needs- high AD, attack speed, lifesteal, and manuverability to function effectivly, and her abilities help her satisfy these needs perfectly. Secondly, at 4,300 mana, this item will give you a bonus 106 AD. Sounds nice? Its not, all of your item spots will be filled with high mana items when you can -easily- get more AD with an IE and Bloodthirster- two items compared to your entire build and the two items win. Third, it is -very- hard for Fiora to go OOM in the first place... Fourth, Fiora should -not- be building tanky items like the Frozen Heart, that is for a tanky jungler (Cho, Udyr, Malphite, ect.), tank, or support. Fiora -needs- to focus on getting Damage and sustain through Lifesteal.

Now comes the exploding:

Are you ****ing insane? Why do you think Riposte gives you passive AD?? Because she is an AD Bruiser champion! So what if one of her abilities have a 1.0 AP scaling? Ashe's ulti has a very high AP scaling, but do you ever see anyone playing Ashe get a Deathcap in a serious game? Exactly, no.

Another major fault is that Riposte won't even protect you past 15min (and thats being very generous) like I assume you were counting on because it *only* blocks incoming basic attacks and abilities that proc on-hit effects. Late game- all the Auto Attack centered champions have a huge ammount of AD and Attack Speed, while the Ability centered champions have nothing to worry about since Fiora can't block/shield anything they do unless they decided to auto attack which..if they're smart they won't. So what happens late game?

Your Fiora vs the enemy ADC: You E, he hits you. You ignore 1 of his attack and deal a good ammount of damage to him (around 500 if lucky). Now the enemy ADC is still auto-attacking you, and E is on cooldown. He can hit you 10 times before it goes off of Cooldown, and during that time he can just regain all of his health through Lifesteal.

Your Fiora vs the enemy AP Casters: You will do nothing. Since there are -very- few casters that have on-hit effects, all of their abilities will deal TONS of damage to you, while all you can do is autoattack them and realize "Hmm. I should've bought AD."

AP Fiora is 100% unviable in normal, dominion, and ranked games. Do not buy the Manamune on her.
