I personally play him as an Hybrid champion, starting off with AP items, rush a couple of doran ring will help you clear a whole wave with just 1 W, then going for nashor's tooth ups your cdr and attack speed and increases the strenght of your shield and stun, and then you add a lichbane for the rotfl burst damage. at this point you should have around 250 AP, 160 AD from E and a 2.5k health from E dorans and runes..

at this point you shift towards a DPS hybrid champion with infinite sustain with THE item for Sion.. Hydra, needless to say how much dps and sustain this item gives you in combo with your awesome ult and attack speed from nashor's.

I've never went farther than this point with the build but i find zhonya and blade of the ruined king to be the last 2 items needed.

remember you're not a front liner, you're the fighter that stands in between their fighters and your carry.. you use the shield for what it is, a shield, and the stun for locking down targets.

after the first round of the fight goes when all the cc is blown and shit goes rough you pop your ult and enter the melee, again with stun up and shield from the awesome CDR you got thanks to nashor's + blue buff, cleave through those motherfuckers and heal your team while dealing tons of Aoe dmg.
