I go something like 11/16/3 on him taking the reduced damage from attacks. I then take Doran's Shield first, or boots and pots with Doran's Shield as my first buy (depends on the support/who I'm against). First items are Muramana and Iceborn Gauntlet.

Combined with his 15% damage reduction and a total of 11 flat damage mitigation on basic attacks, he wins most ADC lanes.
