Lich Bane and/ or Nashor's on AP Kog Maw?

So I was theorycrafting some AP Kog builds, and was thinking about a more AP Marksmen focus. Of course, the Pure AP + Poke Kog build is the most prominent right now, but I was thinking that if you're up against a team that you can safely auto attack as AP Kog, then building Lich Bane and potentially Nashor's could give Kog a LOT of sustained damage.

The standard build for Kog right now is Tear -> Luden's -> Sorc Shoes -> Finish Seraph's -> Void Staff -> Death Cap -> Liandry's, but I think you could pretty easily replace Liandry's with a Lich Bane (which is good if you can auto attack often enough to proc spellblade on cooldown); if you're going for more of an auto attack focus, you could replace one of your other items with Nashor's, which would give you INSANELY high on hit damage (plus, with 20% CDR, plus runes and masteries, you could easily hit CDR cap and have almost 100% uptime on Kog's W).

Whenever I play as Twisted Fate or Kog'Maw (Rarely) I use this build item 3040 item 3115 item 3100 item 3285 item 3135 item 3089

with MS quints and the MS boost from lich bane and luden's, i can usually get away without building boots

If you want to auto-attack on Kog'Maw, building AD would be the better choice tbh. You might be able to get away with fitting Nashor's into his build, but Lich Bane isn't really that good on him.
