Get flat AD and AS runes, with CDR blues perhaps and whatever quints you want, probably GP5, MS or AD. Build Wriggles, Ninja Tabi, Mercury Treads or Ionian boots depending on what you are facing, philo stone and/or HoG or I would suggest getting an early Recurve Bow early if you bought ionian boots to make you clear time decent (you can build it into Wit's End), Frozen Mallet is next IMO for towerdiving and moar slow, Frozen Heart or Randuin's Omen depending on wether you need CDR or not and if someone else is building Frozen heart, and then a Warmog's or Atma should do it

Cons: Slow clearing time, it's safe but slow. Somewhat weak to counterjungling (she's tanky and can get away but she can't realy turn around and pwn the opponent in the face and she can't really save her buffs). Depends on blue a little. No true jungle presence, the opponent can go more or less where he wants in the river because you can't really jump him and insta-gib him. Her CDR items are delayed to some extent if you don't build Ionian. There's a second support on Bot lane.

Pros: Epic ganks from level 3+, a landed zenith blade equates a kill unless the opponent blows flash, at level 6 you become a terror on the lanes. Farmed Leona is scary, and you should get good income from assists. You don't really need blue if you get a philo stone. You become a strong asset when it comes to delaying the taking of Dragon and Baron or when it comes to tanking their damage when doing an early dragon.
