after the dorans nerf I try not to stack dorans anymore, it only gives you 160 HP, the AP is cool and same with the mana regen, but doesnt worth it usually.

RoA is a cool item when playing Orianna, you can also go Tear (she can charge it pretty fast and gives you a nice presence overall because of her low cooldowns, utility and range, but you will lose the RoA tankyness.

With 21/0/9 and blue yellows I can sometimes just skip everything and get a Needlessly (and boots) but thats only a good choise if your enemy is not harrassing, or if the enemy jungler is not a big problem, RoA stills the "safe item" for the early game. Then Lucidity if your team needs you to support them a little, sorc if you can carry with your damage, mercs if you are facing fiddle or lux.

If you are facing Le Blanc or Kassadin, I suggest Athene's, the new item, its pretty cool, gives you the mana regen to poke, the MR to protect yourself, CDR for utility and AP.

If you can carry, after RoAs rush a Rabbadons, if the enemy is full with sustain (Irelia, Vlad, Nocturne etc) get a hextech, but dont upgrade that unless your team has another AP caster or champion with a lot of damage on their abilities. I think thats it, usually. Also WARD EVERYTHING. Not only the close bushes, a lot of junglers know where you are going to ward and try to gank you not from the river, but from the turret sides.
