There are no AP items that grant less AP than an AD item of equal cost.

Sheen proc, inbuilt sustain, better build path.

How is it better build path? item 1036 > item 1027 early game. item 3133 and item 3057 are better in different situations early game (hammer better for sustained fights). Most AP junglers run out of health, not mana.

Most AP junglers run out of health because they run out of mana.

Also Sheen burst in ganks can just ruin people.

because you shouldn't ever pick runeglaive ever. Pick Lich Bane which is superior in all regards

This is 100% wrong. runeglaive is superior on champions when have no waveclear. lichbane is only good on people who do a ton of damage on one ability like TF or Kassadin.

Runeglaive only works on monsters.

the only thing runeglaive is going to help you "waveclear" is the jungle which you shouldn't have any issues doing by the point you are even able to get it. Also please tell me which AP junglers are not able to clear the jungle by the point they are able to afford runeglaive and which AP jungler doesn't use Lich Bane better? Runeglaive is a complete joke of an item

^ This is why I stopped Diana jungle after a two games. Though you could take Devourer...

unfortunatly the manasustain is absolutly necessary on most ap-junglers, even if they can´t make all that much use of the sheenprocc...it´s still silly though that they can´t just add a real mage-item for jungling. Old Magus hadnßt been the most exciting thing ever...but it got the job done (pretty similar to the current soulless ad jungle thingy).
