Just to add, if he attempts to get a Ninja tabi and a chain vest early on, a good addition to a Doran's shield, boots and cloth armour is a Brutalizer, as not only will it give you CD reduction but it will also let you break through some of his defenses, on top of your already considerable AP, assuming you have it. After the Brutalizer get yourself a Giant's belt to give you the extra hp buff and things should be manageable.

I actually tried Darius myself the week before he was "free" and while his damage output is INSANE, he is also extremely boring and easy to use, nvm compared to Garen, but in general :S. That is likely why so many beginner Darius are so dangerous, he is notoriously one dimensional and compared to our fave Demacian, quite literally is a one trick pony.
