I think Malady is good for mid-game. It's cheap and Varus is by far the champion that synergizes the most with Malady's passive (he has to attack a few times before doing his WTF burst damage, which means he takes full use of the MR reduction). u can sell Malady later.

About rageblade, is it really that good on AP Varus? This item is only good at full stacks, which is hard to obtain with AP Varus (max is 8 stacks, 3 attacks and a spell is 4 stacks), and the new passive they gave it is terrible on AP Varus. other than the small attack speed boost, it's useless. Both lifesteal and spellvamp are useless stats on AP Varus (blight doesn't work with spell vamp).

CDR. Other than for the ult, I never really felt that I need it that much as AP Varus. They usualy die after 1 detonation and few AA or after 2 detonations.

Midnight Sun, the total AP ratio on-hit for AP Varus is 0.45 with spellsword mastery and malady, not 0.4. his on-hit AP ratio is 0.25 not 0.2. and for Teemo it's 0.6 (0.4+0.05+0.15).
