Ignoring the fact that Varus's Q is arguably harder to hit and more predictable, his W needs a minimum amount of AS to be useful. On the other hand, Jayce's W makes AS redundant on him. Varus is played as an AD caster until he gets his AS item, so technically you could delay it to maintain the caster-style longer, but I find him more effective by building attack speed right after an AD item and boots.

It's a personal opinion though, you may find it easier to build something like IE->boots->LW/BT->PD, or maybe even IE->boots->Youmuu->LW->BotRK (not sure about this last path though - I don't like having low crit chance).
