AP Vareus can be weak only if you have AD runes and masteries and/or don't use 3 stack+ ability combo in duels. I personally start with 21/0/9 for AD and doran's blade, but level W first. In fact, if you do the math, maxing W provides more damage with ANY build if you detonate 3 stacks with his abilities. Don't waste skills for a banal harass. I start to max E second, BUT it is better to level other two equally to deal considerable damage with skill itself. E is easier lo land, but q is quicker and can hit if an enemy dash away from you, in which situation E would miss. If you are dueling at close range, dont waste time to charge Q as a rule.

I buy berserker's greaves first, then catalyst, then rush Nashor's tooth, finish Rod of Ages, then usually go for Hurricane and build AP later (you can build Deathcap if you are facing particularily tanky enemies, but ASPD + AoE stacks are usually better).
