You don't need to build any mana items. The only item that I would weakly suggest is a RoA but a RoA is honestly not worth the expense. A RoA won't fix your mana woes, only mitigate them. Just build AP items and make sure you have constant access to Blue Buff. My core is typically Deathcap, Rylai, and Zhonya (in this particular order). Anything else is per situation. Just make sure you monopolize Blue Buff because you will burn out in team fights without it.
