I like to get deathcap if I'm ahead, personally. As an item for Vel'koz, it's fine. His AP ratios aren't support-tier or anything, so AP is always good on him and deathcap is ridiculously slot-efficient if you build it 4th or 5th item.

Thunderlord's is amazing on him. Unless a given champion has a lot of DoT spells like Cass or Brand's passive, I think Thunderlord's is better simply due to its massive base damage compared to DFT. Since Vel'koz's damage is focused in either his combo (at least three hits) or his ultimate (10 hits), you'll be procing it plenty. Even if you miss the third spell you can still auto the target for Thunderlord's.
