ok this is how i play darius. i start the game with boots of speed and 3 heal pots and lvl up Decimate, i allways go top, either solo or with another champ. in laning phase i use Decimate to harass the enemy and go back to last hit minions, harassing and getting early kills is easy with darius but dont get greedy or try to steal your mate's kills. at lvl 6 you get Noxian Guillotine, ONLY use it on 5 stacks of your innate, otherwise dmg will be low and you wont get the ult reset. On my first trip back i get mercury treads and start building my Phage ( if hte game goes slow and/or i get haassed too much i pick a philosopher stone before phage) later on i get a hexdrinker and upgrade phage to a frozen mallet. As the game goes on i upgrade hexdrinker into MoM nad get an impaler, late game is a Warmog and a IE or FoN ( situational ). On team fights you should never open the fight, let the tank or jungler do it, get in and out dps their team, multiple Guillotines are ok, but i usually just use it once or twice, so i don't cripple my team. As of spells i usually pick Ghost and ignite. I feel that ghost is more versatile and usefull than flash, and ignite + Hemorragex5 is good to ensure kills early/mid game and to counter some champs like mundo or Swain.

Give it a try, i allways play like this and get good scores :)
