"but the thing is, rageblade's low-hp passive doesn't help AP Varus at all. neither LS nor SV work well with him, as blight detonation doesn't work with spell vamp, and your AAs don't deal much physical damage so you also don't benefit much from the LS either."

I´m sorry to say this, but please read what I write. No matter how weak the lifesteal or spell vamp is in a teamfight, it allows you to recover from a teamfight. There is besides that no use for it. Your AA´s still deal a respectable amount of physical damage.

There is no place for malady. You survive your early game with two items that include some physical DPS stats, after which you can buff your now existent AP pool with a huge boost from Rabadon´s. Malady´s magic penetration is completely useless without any other penetration items in any phase other than the early game and it does not scale sufficiënt to be worth it's slot later in the game.
