When they don't buy MR, flat pen (Sorcs, Guise, Abyssal) become MORE useful. Turning 30 MR into 15, 0, or -20 MR (not even counting runes and mastery pen) is more valuable than tenacity... l0l. If you feel like you need defense greater than Hourglass or Abyssal you're playing AP carries wrong.
Flat magic pen = good when they have low resists
% magic pen = good when they have high magic resist (60+)
because math

I don't even like hourglass anymore, its price going up 500g was unneeded imo and since the majority of damage this season is sustained (aa's and whatnot), its active won't save you a lot of the time unless you use it to get your cooldowns.
defensive boots are a pretty bad option for carries imo, you're goal is to deal damage/assassinate people. You're only hindering yourself going for defense if you are a hypercarry. There are exceptions of course, but maximizing damage whilst minimizing time is ideal for a lot of champs.
