This is the build I've been doing quite well with: 21/0/9 masteries, including all caster attack masteries, the movespeed mastery in utility, movespeed quints, magic penetration marks, flat armor seals, mr/level glyphs.

Movespeed?!? you might say.. but trust me, heimer is one of the slowest champs, and having a 320 base speed is a LOT better than having a 300 base speed. It's effectively like getting a whole free level of boot speed. Instead of being an easily caught waddling little guy who gets left behind by his team in the jungle, you can actually keep up in team fights and even chase people down with rockets when they try to get away, or, on the other hand, actually be able to stay at a safe distance a lot more of the time when people move towards you.

Start with Catalyst the protector into RoA, then get Sorc Shoes, then a Rabadon's cap. After that your choice, abyssal scepter and zhonya's hourglass are both great on him, build whichever is more helpful against the enemy first, then the other one.

For skills: level rockets first, but get turrets to 3 quickly to have a good defense, or if you are feeling daring, for max offense just stay with l1 turrets and l1 grenade until you max rockets. Ignoring turrets early makes you a little more exposed to ganks so be careful about pushing too far if you decide to go that way. After rockets, priority is turrets, then ult, then grenade.
