Firstly, Vectis is not armor ignore, it's Armor piercing

Secondly, all sniper builds should have ice damage mods on it for it to be effective against shields, this especially applies to Grineer and Corpus. Sniper rifles are out of the equation when fighting against Infested.

Thirdly, why is it unecessary to have AP mods on weapons with Armor Ignore? AP mods belongs to the same category as elemental mods ie. Fire, Ice, Electric. Therefore Armor piercing is treated just as an extra elemental damage mod giving extra damage and is not unecessary on all Armor Ignore weapons but it all depends on what you what your rifle to perform like.

As for the Vectis, you can replace Piercing Hit to make space for a crit build.
