Has anyone tried full AP Elise since her buffs?

You deal monstrous amounts of damage but the downside is that you're incredibly squishy. She's basically an assassin with poor teamfighting imo (unless you go untargetable right after you kill your target and then get out).
It's funny because that's what she was originally intended to do, it's just been so long since she was ever used as an assassin that people have forgotten.
I played her mid and went
the game was over before i could see my dmg with voidstaff but the problem i ran into is exactly this.. Once i get hit by 1 thing of CC im pretty screwed. I Dont run MR on her (i like CDR per lvl) so i only had the base 30 MR and if rumble even hit me slightly with his ult i lost a shit load of HP. The standard builds would have different results.
TL;DR It would probably be fun to mess around with, but in a more serious game its probably better to focus on other items that give resistances and HP. (Aka bruiser builds)
I think it is definitely Viable as a full assassin style, and to finish off I'd buy a Nashor's (because I love that item to pieces) for even more DPS, since you'd hit for 55 (+45% AP) on hit with every attack, or about 300 magic damage on hit full build. Your neurotoxin/venemous bite deals +25% current/missing HP, your volatile spidering deals +740 magic damage total, and the on-hit bonus from using rappel would increase your on-hit effect by almost 200 damage per attack. and now that your spiderlings benefit from mpen and have a higher ratio, they'd hit for around +160 each.
Oh, and you heal on-hit for about 70 HP, another thing that makes nashor's worth.
You'd be squishy as heck, but you deal so much damage that it's worth it if you're able to rappel out safely.
I'll let you know when she hits free week :D
I've wanted to try her as an AP bruiser.

Shes pretty much being built like that now:

is pretty much her standard build Zhonyas/abyssal depending vs ad or ap
