AS limits how fast you can weave spells, so it is important to have at least some in the pregame setup. Honestly, AD isn't very useful on him. He gets more from just building armor as it increases the damage from his passive and the amount of armor he gains as well as shreds.

Since Spirit Visage is very powerful and increases his heal to stupid amounts on himself (Oh look, I get Malphite passive in the form of a heal every 4s or less due to my passive reducing my CDs!) it is nice to get, and besides that you have enough HP to not care about magic damage.

For my first item, I love to build (Sighstone) Frozen Heart. It doesn't give health, but having 172 armor while enemy Leona has 133 WHILE USING HER BUFF is close enough, and it reduces enemy ADC power even if they don't attack you by a considerable amount, and gives you the CDR+Mana to actually be somewhat sustained in a fight. Then I go to Spirit Visage so mages don't kill me. It's worked very well for me so far. While AP does look very juicy on him, it won't let you do that much against tanks since you don't have the inventory slots to dedicate to making it really useful. Still, it's probably worth trying later in the game, like say, a random Zhonya's Hourglass to compliment his strengths and perhaps wait out an ignite or dodge a spell, wait for CDs, you name it! Also lets you threaten their squishies a lot more.
