First off I probably would never recommend building Abyssal because it is pretty terrible, but if you had to it would be catalyst against poke and megatron against all ins.

when do you build it? since its situational as you say

When my team and the enemy team are both running 3 or more magic damage dealers. So an example would be;

Vladimir Elise Orianna Ezreal Nami vs. Maokai Evelynn Xerath Kaisa Thresh

sounds very unfairly situational lol. i thought if you were already a close combat magic dealer like how Warwick or Sylas works.

It just has horrible stats. Also the item increases magic damage by 10% which means that if you are not also building penetration that much of that 10% increased magic damage is negated, so you want to have multiple allys that deal magic damage and build penetration. Also the other Magic resist items are just statistically more effective.

oh ok i thought it was a offense/defense item. but your saying its more of a team setup magic damage amplifier item.

Pretty much that is a spot on description.

yup i figured as much. so its a item you pretty much buy for your team like frozen heart works where you kinda sacrifice your item slot for your team to give them 15% more tankyness vs attack speed or amps magic damage for item 3001 .

Not too far off. I have built it on Ornn and on "tank" support Neeko and Fiddlesticks - and it's really really bad for cost-efficiency in terms of what you get after spending so much on it. The only correction I would offer is that the negatron would be rushed if the comp is heavy AP.
