Have to agree with the Anon above. CDR is very important. Not enough to max it, but you really want your ult and shield ready to use as often as possible. I'm not a fan of the Chalice either, as I take Teleport and rush Catalyst, eliminating mana problems.

I generally like to start with Sapphire+2HP to build it into an early Catalyst. If I'm having a tricky lane against a physical-damage opponent at top, I'll start building Glacial Shroud so that I can retain Catalyst's passive whilst having some armour to take their harass.
