I have been enjoying Renekton as a tanky initiator/damage sponge, and have felt like I really make an impact when I actually play smart. I admit I'm no pro, but here's some tips. Even if you don't need them, this can help anyone hoping to learn him or learn how to play against him somewhat.

Renekton has a lot of sustain from his Q. Don't feel you need to full engage at any point unless you are guaranteed to get a kill. What I do is get to 50 ferocity, jump in through minions with his first E cast so you can close the gap, Q for the enhanced damage and heal from having 50 ferocity, then use E to get out. It adds up. You can also go E-W-Q-E for a little extra damage, and less chance of reaction. Renekton is slippery like that.

When teamfights come around, your job should be to set up picks. Your E is a great gap closer, even if you don't get the second cast. Don't use it recklessly, but if you have your team backing you up, E to priority targets, stun them with W, and beat them to a pulp with your team. After that, either rinse and repeat, or peace out.

As for items, Black Cleaver is almost a must on him. Not just for the damage and armor shred, but it has EVERYTHING you want. Health, Cooldown Reduction, and its other passive speeds you up when you hit with ANY of your basic abilities. Beyond that, build to handle the enemy team. I'd recommend Titanic Hydra for damage, Locket of Iron Solari for Magic Resist - since your E allows you to get close to enemy and ally alike, you can jump in and possibly help them with the shield - and either Deadman's Plate or Sunfire Cape for Armor.

These are sort of basic suggestions and tips, but I hope it helps out a bit.
