Make sure to check on the alternative ability builds for him (tiger instead of pheonix, maxing bear/turtle first). Runes can be MPen or APen marks, Dodge/Mana per lvl seals, CDR glyphs, and flat Health on Quints (runes I use). Go for either 9/21/0 or 0/21/9 masteries. Building him for damage is a very bad idea, since it makes him extremely squishy, and Udyr excels at outlasting opponents.

No matter what build you go with, you NEED golem to jungle. Otherwise he won't be able to sustain his stance dancing early on and you're going to run out of mana really fast. Have your team cover you at blue to make sure it doesnt get stolen. After the first round through your jungle (after going back and buying razor/more pots) you should be able to sustain 90% health easily when jungling. A banshee's works well since it gives him both durability and mana, and a Trin force later ups his damage significantly.

Long story sort though, he's a very hard champion to master. Practice a lot.
