Wow. So I'll just continue to talk out of my ass by providing examples.

There'll be a replay of AS Kennen in there with HotshotGG, one of the top players in League of Legends (pretty sure both sides)
I've also run both builds and found that AS is better in both harassment, late-game build up. The only way he gets them back is by using Lightning Dash and that requires him (a squishy person with the AP build) to go straight up to the face of enemies. If there's a stun dropped on him, he's pretty much eff'd.
GL Lightning Dashing into a group of enemies. I don't care how much energy it gets you, it's not like Ryze decides to jump into a five-man group in order to get mana back.
Also, energy costs LOW? His E costs over half of his energy pool and that's what he's going to get the energy back with, except he'll need to use it to escape half of the time. This combined with the fact that you can activate while stunned (with no effect besides wasting energy) and that many do so under panic when getting focused by an entire team really limits him. If he's not able to build up his hp again like with say, an attackspeed lifesteal combination, he can run his ass back to the base unless there's a healer waiting to comfort him.
Regardless, I've been saying 'suggest', 'imo' and such when starting my comments. I'm not stating it's the best, I'm putting down why I think it's the best. I'm not saying I'm right. I am however saying every AP Kennen tend to fail miserably.
Don't get your panties in a bunch. :|
