Tiamat is actually an amazing starting item on Wukong. I've been starting with Rejuv Bead and a Faerie Charm, grabbing tier 2 boots, and then finishing with Tiamat before starting Trinity, and it basically covers all of the bases. He does need some mana regen, but not alot, and the hp regen helps you jump in and harass while recovering skirmish wounds.

Currently, the final product ends up like Tiamat, MercTreads, Trinity Force, Bloodthirster, ForceofNature, and Guardian Angel. By the time you get BT, you hit REALLY hard. From there, the defense allows you to exploit your ult to it's fullest in a teamfight. While his overall squishyness is mildly a problem, a smart wukong can escape from almost any bad situation. Teamfights generally involve you jumping in first with EQ, then W'ing to blow all of their CDs. After that, i wait for opportunities to present themselves depending on the opponents etc to hit my ult, distract with the W, and jump in for the kill.
