I main Trundle and pretty much only jungle him so the item advice I'm giving is related to that.

I'm not particularly interested in dealing damage when I play Trundle. I don't believe it synergizes with his kit. Damage is nice, sure, but staying alive to act as utility for your team to net kills is what makes you win. So I build Wriggles, Mercs and FM primarily. Games don't go on much longer than that but if they do, Sunfire Cape is great. I strongly recommend against Atma's - it was questionable to get on Trundle before the nerf and now it's totally worthless. You're adding a small amount of damage to a champion that shouldn't be focused on damage in the first place and taking up an item slot and 2k+ gold in the process.

The problem is that all of this assumes you have a competent team. So in solo-Q, it's a toss up. Sometimes even support champions should be played as on-hit carries just so you can win and not get screwed by a horrible team.

But if you're playing with decent players, you will win more often and your teammates will be much more appreciative if you play Trundle as an invincible utility assist ganker.
