You don't have to upgrade the Brutalizer into a Youmuu's right away after you have been gaining a lot of gold. The Brutalizer is Renekton's core damage items because of the stats it provides which has been mentioned by other users. Armor Pen, CDR to match with Ionian Boots (and the CDR masteries should you have them), and of course some raw AD to help.

Ionian Boots + Brutalizer + CDR Masteries give 34% CDR which is already just 6% before the CDR cap which means you have much shorter CDs with EVERYTHING in Renek's skillset, without having to get any other items for CDR which means you get more room to get more direct damage and direct defense to help you smash enemy faces with, while making sure your own face isn't smashed.

Youmuu's is just a nice little extension should you choose to upgrade that cute Brutalizer into something to help out in the lategame. The Attack Speed and Movement Speed boost greatly helps after your usual shenanigans.

Ok, about Sunfire Cape. Simple. Unless an enemy AP mage gets fed so early that it becomes a lopsided advantage to the enemy team's AP carry, the Sunfire cape serves its purpose from the early-mid game. The Raw Health gives you more direct survivability from damage that hasn't been increased yet which is mostly in most parts of the early-mid game, and the Armor already makes you a fiend against AD champs who aren't farmed yet. The Sunfire aura + Renekton's Ulti is such a beasty combo that its not really that hard to say that its "not efficient in actual practice", all while being provided with the awesome defensive stats that a Sunfire cape give.

Now, if you find the need to shrug of Magic Damage from an enemy AP carry who's busy stacking mejais because of your allies allowing that AP carry to get fed, grabbing a Negatron Cloak helps because that +48 MR can really help survive such magic damage.
