Vel'Koz doesn't really need to build very much, if any AP so he'll possibly be doing more damage than an AP build and certainly more than the normal support or tanky build.

However it doesn't really have any way to deal with his usual weaknesses. Support or tank have the utility to not die and give multiple rotations of his spells onto enemies, and AP has Zhonya's and sheer burst anyway. AD VelKoz doesn't have ether of those things, despite the higher damage he'll get shut down and shut out much much easier than any other build.
