This is just my opinion from what I've seen and gleaned; I'm not much of a kog player myself:

If you aren't building craptons of mana to use his ult, you're probably better off not building AP. Kog explodes (literally) if someone so much as looks at him, so you won't make much use of his Q ratio in teamfights, leaving only his E ratio, which is a spell that should be used for its utility if at all (his W ratio isn't worth building for; if you want more % damage on autoattacks you're actually better off from a cost-effectiveness standpoint building MBR, which is usually a bad idea in itself). That said, gunblade is kind of an interesting choice, and I'd recommend you try that out over BT and see if you like it. Abyssal should probably just be abandoned altogether when you consider the fact that your ult will typically be used outside of the aura's range anyways.

Basically what I'm trying to say is that it's usually better to make up your mind when building a champion. Either stack craptons of mana and play AP, or build for his autoattacks, because going halfway on each will probably make both useless. Very few champs can successfully be played hybrid.
