If you go into def, he will be a uselss tank who can only steal kills (and make it bad for the team); if you go into dmg, you have to get close combat, get focus and die easy. I have to agree with this a little bit. I main Darius Top and Jungle. You really have to meet in the middle when it comes to Tankiness and Damage by late game. Darius is meant to shine early/mid game, where if you can get extremely fed and just dominate their team it will of course carry into late game. If he's too Tanky he becomes near useless as his abilities fall off in damage in the extreme late game, he essentially becomes a useless meat shield. But if he's too damage oriented and not very tanky at all he can be focused down hard because of his little amounts of resist and him having no escapes.

I have also made a Darius guide here, if you are interested: http://www.solomid.net/guides.php?g=42734-reist-tungrad-darius-build-guide
