I don't necessarily get Void Staff on Kog'Maw, but still get Madred's Bloodrazor, because it synergizes with the champion.

Every 3 hits you take off 27% of their health in bonus damage, why not?

Because all enemies with high HP will have so much mr, that you just deal 1% HP as damage. And that is very cost inefficient for its price.

I doubt everyone on the other team will have 300 Mr, which is 75% resistance, which brings 4% to 1% as you said.

Plus, you're forgetting he is an AD Carry, meaning they either have to prioritize heavy Mr against huge %-based damage or heavy armor against physical damage >_>

Against squishy targets it is definitly no problem, but it is % HP dmg, so it doesn't affect them that much.

Against people with 150+ MR however it is a problem and most bruisers reach that and 150 armor today. You would then deal ~2% HP as damage and that means so much vs 4k HP. For me, 3800 gold are not worth that.

You could also just go AD and deal more damage as Kog.

BTT:

I would build Varus just like any other ad-carry. The scaling on Q and E are good enough so AD is very usefull.

Would you really get void on an AD carry lol. Btw Madreds functions perfectly fine in todays meta game shredding health really well+ Nice AS and AD boost without needing mpen. Besides very few items give sizable amounts of mr so most bruiser actually sit around the 100 mr mark and 150-170 armor.

Wit's End, Maw of Malmortius, Mercury's Treads, Force of Nature, Guardian Angel.

You will have at least 2 of this items. Combined with the mr from your runepage and masteries you gain more than 150 mr.

FoN is incredibly situational, and if you take that item out I see the maximum mr to be had here being 120(with mr suited runes, masteries and base)

I build him like any other ranged ad. lol. From whatnI saw he ripped everyone apart Greavs, IE, PD, and LW. Riot basically made a poke comp AD Carry. He is by no means using his Q in trades. So I dunno. He is basically a mix of Cait, Vayne, MF, and Sejuaini ability wise.
