Dont listen to the deathfire guy... its not a good item on him. Way better is Zhonya, Abyssal, DC, RoA ect.

If you build Deathfire in every teamfight you will be dead before you can cast your whole combo since you dont have a gap closer, no escape and you will be squishy as hell in early-mid game.

Its clear that you should play him like Ryze or even a little more carefull and back line oriented (well not that safe like a normal squishy AP) since your not a tank, but you should get AP and resists what is your priority since you have medium range.
