Probably my fav from this rotation, I always start with a Mana Manipulator, at least if laning with a partner, and also get fortify and Teleport rather than Clarity and Tele, since Manipulator is enough for your mana needs. First recall is boots + philo, max arane smash for close range fights and farming and Sapling if your enemies are ranged/harassers, and although you're not the tank nearly as soon, you can get a catalyst at around 15 minutes into the game (around level 12), now you can just spam infinitely and build tank from there, RoA, Banshee's, HoG->Randuin's, it's all up to you. Just try to hold on to that manipulator until the teamfights start, it's great for your laning partner(s) and pushing turrets.
