Personally, I've melted playing Jayce, he is one of my most faves (tied for most fave with Garen actually).

Building damage (and relying mostly on your Cannon mode) is the way to go most of the time. Usually, I build only one or two defensive items based on the situation (magic resist most of the time. Or Guardian Angel).

I believe you can do the aforementioned combo but I also believe it is not optimal. See, the issue with Q in Hammer mode is that, it can be dodged pretty easily. All it takes is for the intended target to have any sort of dash- it does not follow the target. They can even Flash out of it-which may not sound pretty cost-effective but in doing so, you may find yourself in trouble and have to burn your Flash (like, they may have company waiting). If your target hasn't got any way to avoid it except Flash and you're certain nobody will suddenly jump on you, yeah, use it to harass (don't forget the empowered attack from Hammer before Thundering Blow).

The proclaimed "advanced" Jayce combo is: apply the shred from Cannon mode passive, hit W and then R to transform, Q in (so you do the bonus damage from Hammer and 2 more attacks in rabid succession and also boosted-5/6 W rank) then E them. You may also use an accelerated shock blast the moment you apply the shred before you transform- or you may wanna save that to snipe them when they try to flee (you can use a normal Shock Blast in that case).

And finally, you just need to remember this: if Hyper-Charge crits late game while having Infinity Edge; bye bye, good night to whoever unlucky fellow eats them (it once happened vs a full tank 5k HP Malphite and half of his life bar got deleted just like that).
