If my laning phase isn't going well, I often build a spirit visage-it offers a lot of useful benefits to Nasus laning, and you can always swap it out later for something better. It's hard to beat MR, +regen effects, and CDR-they're all stats that Nasus wants, and if you're getting zoned by an AP top it really helps. I was getting ganked by a Malphite jungler while facing Cho'Gath top, but once I got spirit visage I literally sat in front of Cho taking his autoattacks while I stole more HP than he did with my q farming.

Also, I see no reason to build anything but tanky on a character where all of his damage comes from q farm; trinity force is the only "damage" item I get, the builds below are what I use.
