I build him in a rather weird way...

I start with Sapphire Crystal, and build it into a Sheen ASAP, maxing Q along the way. Then, I grab normal Boots. If the Laning Phase seems to be going on for a little longer, and it seems that I'll be split pushing a lot, I'll get a Fiendish Codex just to pack a little more punch into my Q's, which will later be upgraded to Nashor's Tooth (It's cheap, effective, and underrated, seriously!). Then I start raising my E and buying Berserker's Grieves, Trinity Force, and then two Zeals (one if I got the Fiendish Codex), then an IE, then the Zeals into PDs, Fiendish Codex into Nashor's, etc. Last item can be a whole lot of things.

Basically, I give up on W, because I feel that I don't really NEED the longer stun until later levels, because Trinity Force allows me to chase anyway.

Final build is Trinity Force, Berserker Grieves, Infinity Edge, two Phantom Dancers and a Bloodthirster. But I swap one of these out for Wit's End, Nashor's Tooth, or in the most drastic case, Guardian Angel, depending on the game.

The crucial thing for me is maxing Q first even though you intend to go AD, and rushing a Sheen, because with the Sheen and maxed Q, you can farm so much easier and so safely, and you can run any lane comfortably. I also run Teleport and Flash.
