Since her rework (*coughcough nerf), there aren't really any terribly great item builds on her. The conventional way to build her is something like Doran's Ring, Boots of Speed, Sheen, finish Merc. Treads, Rageblade, either Deathcap or finish Lich Bane, and maybe a Guardian Angel.

Don't spam spears during the laning phase; you'll waste mana. Most good Nidalees level heal first, spears second, and get at least one point in traps before level 6 (because you can't use all of her cougar abilities unless you have at least one point in each skill). If you wanna harass, you can use the attack speed boost from her heal, but you can't spam her heal very much since they increased the mana cost. Dominate bushes and prevent ganks with her traps. I would probably pick a lane with a partner (preferably someone good at harassing) since I don't feel she's as good solo as she used to be. She can still burst down low health enemies with her cougar (so you can let your partner harass till an enemy is low then secure a kill with your burst). If a low health enemy is running away and you can't get to him with your cougar form, that's a good time to try chucking a spear.
