With the free AP, wouldn't you only need to buy Rabadon's to get the best effect and then tank items?
You could, though RoA, Rylai's, or some other tanky AP item would be better.
He seems to work better as either straight tank or balanced AP tank.
EDIT: You know what? Imma write I guide on it brb
I'm working out my AP tristana Build. I don't have her totally down yet, but she's a friggin blast!
Ummmm..... so far it's(in no particular order, of course)
Rabadon's Deathcap
Void Staff
Rylai's Crystal Scepter
Zhonya's Hourglass
Lich Bane
Sorcerer's Shoes
It's just a nuke with legs and a rocket pack! :D

I don't care about my rep, but you can +rep if you want to.
I've just tried AP Tank Veigar.
Doran's ring, sorcerer's shoes, rylai, frozen heart, banshee's, abyssal scepter, I was about to get zhonya's/rabadon.
First of all, this build gives you a nice survivability AND not so bad dmg. Of course it won't hit as well as AP Veigar, because instead of >1k ap, you've got about <400 ap (without zhonya's/rabadon), but hey - it's still not so bad.
I had serious mana problems through the most of the game (blue buff makes really a huge difference, so I'm thinking about getting early tear of the goddess -> archangel's staff (would work well with frozen heart/banshee's), or some roa though).
Ok. So, the score was 16/3/14 (from 8/3). And I know it's very team dependant etc. Anyway, I can see this build is able to work. THOUGH, I'm not sure if Veigar should be build this way, unless being a tanky caster was his job. Veigar is known for nuking everything down, killing some ashe, annie or whatever with E+W+Q+R (sometimes only with Q+R).

lol I played him as an "OMGWTFBBQTANK!!!!!!"
Pure tank:
Doran's Shield
Merc's Treads
Aegis
Sunfire
FoN
Warmog's
Guardian Angel
With nothing but AP/level runes and my farmed-up Q I had nearly 100 AP.
EDIT: Chalice of harmony is your new best friend

I build AP Tristi for survival mainly, although Rylai's would be sick. Here's how I build her.
RoA/Sorc Boots/Death Cap
And then it's simply a number of options. DFG would be killer on her, Lich Bane is a thought but her CDs are so long you won't have enough uptime on the proc to make it viable imo. Malady wouldn't be terrible on her, neither would Guinsoo's Rage Blade.
Oh ****, I've just had my best AD Soraka game.
You could say I aced their team 2 times. First - got 2 (two) double kills in teamfight. Second - got triple and double (a bit too slow for penta).
Yes, I know I had no defensive items (you could call any lifesteal item a one), but it was my goal, to come in the early-mid stage of the fight and rape (and lifesteal really did its' work).
Btw I was mid against Morde. After I killed him (lev 2-3, I think), he decided to change with akali, with which I got 2/1.
