From what I can tell from other people and playing him a bit; you have to have Triforce, at some point usually. You want items that provide CDR, HP, and Armor. I think there is some versatility in what you might want to exactly wear and if you can get a item with most of those stats or an activate that helps things out the better.

Blade of the Ruined King is core, you might want to actually rush it but I'd get armor before finishing that item possibly. Depends on how aggressive and damage worthy your opponent in lane is.

Additional AS in runes seems smart and you will want that percentage pen from the masteries (think you'd might also want spell weaving and blade weaving but I'm still fiddling with loadouts. Executioner looked okay when combined with his W passive, an Ignite, Blade activate and any combination of your spells). You'd might actually want mobility too seeing as he's pretty slow when he's Mega Gnar so again. An item that covers a lot of those various needs can be the better choice and activates gives him more utility in his weaker areas.

I don't know a standard for boots yet but I've been getting Tabi as early armor. Makes sense but I can see Mercury Treads being more nessacary or Boots of Swiftness being more vital for roaming, escaping, or chasing.

So far it seems more on the fly than other champions when it comes to building. You can't get everything so a few things needed to actually win your match is all you should gun for which is hard to predict ahead of time.
