For example, you really don’t wanna build Book of Thoth or Soul Gem on Anubis, so I’d start by removing those. I’d also swap Spear of Desolation for Spear of the Magus which is a core item for him, since all of his abilities deal damage over time and this can proc Magus’ passive.
So, the build order would be Bancroft's Talon, Shoes of Focus, Spear of the Magus, Chronos' Pendant, Typhon's Fang and Obsidian Shard (swap for Rod of Tahuti if the enemy comp has no tanks).
If you don’t want CDR (which I don’t recommend at all), swap Shoes of Focus for Shoes of the Magi and swap Chronos' Pendant for Spear of Desolation (or Divine Ruin if the enemy team have healers).
As you said, biggest sin here is not including Spear of the Magus. I typically wouldn't build Obsidian Shard as well unless against the tankiest of comps. Magus should do nicely for core pen otherwise.
