AP Jungle Twisted Fate and new Runeglaive

I'm thinking of Jungling with Twisted Fate. I tend to favor his AP build over the AD one however. What really got me interested however was the new addition Runeglaive to jungling. It's a Lichbane with aoe and an 8% mp restore. And TF is probably the strongest user of Lich's Bane. And since a fully upgraded Ranger and Stalker is relatively cheaper than a Lich's Bane, plus with blue card and Runeglaive's 8% mp restore, you don't even need an mp item like Morell's or Grail, that right there is a lot of money saved. After that Nashor's Tooth and Sorcerer's Shoes for better ganking, jungle clear, and sustained dmg. Along those lines Zhonya's, Void Staff, Deathcap, and Luden's are the usual items you from with TF. Boots of Mobility might be better for map presence though.

So what do you guys think on all of this. What would be a good build path? How well would an AP TF be at jungling now that Runeglaive is out?

AP TF in the jungle has a huge problem: to be good, he needs a big ticket AP item. Most big ticket AP items require a Needlessly Large Rod. That means you are farming for 1600 gold without any power spikes in betweek. 1600 gold is 4 full clears of your jungle. That's 4 full clears, after you've bought runeglaive. How realistic is that to do?

Meanwhile AD TF can get slowly stronger because he doesn't need to buy BF sword items or even pickaxe items.
