I recommend not building Sunfire unless its a full tank build. Darius does not have much sticking potential and is kiting quite easily as well as can be slowed and cc'ed to death which makes it hard for him to stick to targets.

Sunfire is powerful on him early game but begins to fall off...by a lot. I usually end up going a wardens mail or gisnts belt and Brutalizer early game, the early armour pen and tankiness as well as damage is a great help and is much better then the sunfire cape.

Not to mention, Sunfire cape isn't really worth it, as sunfire cape does cost 2650 gold, Darius may earn a lot of gold early game, but late game it starts to get harder for him to get kills or farm since he can't just split push for days without getting ganked since he does have no escape.

Since he doesn't earn a lot of gold, his late game is weaker, so I recommend you buy late game items such as Randuins omen, Righteous glory, Ravenous Hydra or maw of malmortius to help him scale much better into the late game as well as give him much more sticking power with the righteous glory+ Randuins omen.

Sunfire cape and Randuins is a good combo, but the sunfire just lacks the defensive stats that Darius requires to survive, the aoe damage on sunfire is also quite pitiful late game. I recommend buying thornmail instead of sunfire, since Darius gets kited a lot and is auto attacked a lot by the ADC since well they are trying to kite him, thornmail is just a great item combined with the randuins omen and righteous glory he becomes quite the monster.

Also, Frozen heart is a great item on Darius, although with the recent ult changes, im building it less seeing as though it the mana is not that needed as much and righteous glory already supplies the mana, cdr and aoe as slow is great, but randuins omen gets that job done just fine.

Normal build that I mostly use is: Randuins omen mercury trends (Mostly mercury trends since that tenacity is just to good on the man Darius) Thornmail Ravenous Hydra Maw of malmortius Righteous glory

This ensures tankiness, defensive against magic damage, high health, mana and mobility as well as quite a bit of damage.
