I was thinking about Sterak's as well, but definitely not as early as you suggested. Even more so if you're playing him ADC.

So far, the start I've had most success with is IE > ER. Straight and simple, just raw damage and crits. Follow up with a Zeal item (They're all good on Jhin, I've been enjoying PD particularly lately), Last Whisper upgrade, Swifties, and end up your build with either Bloodthirster, Mercurial Scimitar,  or even another Zeal item if you're going for that juicy 100% crit chance (at which point you might even sell your boots altogether).

Another start I've been experimenting with mixed success, however, is Youmuu rush. The only real downside to this build is that your IE gets delayed by one item, otherwise Youmuu's Ghostlade gives Jhin everything he could wish for: 65 AD, 20 flat armor pen, 10% CDR, and an active which boosts his mobility and gives him extra AD for a while. This is especially useful when playing mid, where people are more likely to itemize against you with a Seeker's Armguard, and where Youmuu's active comes in handy when you're roaming / trying to escape a gank.
