It's just my opinion, but in a 2v1 lane you have no business not taking cloth/5. Even in most solo situations anything dorans will get you killed against any of the other immortal tops.

My build is 9/21/0 taking offense up to armor pen % and taking the normal stuff in defense with regen/cooldown per level. I use Armor pen reds, armor yellows (probably switching to health per level when I finish them), cooldown per level blues and flat regen quints. Despite the "sustain" on his Q, I rank it last because it's too weak to rely on and build sustain through potions/quints/regen mastery. That's usually enough.

I start cloth/5 versus most everything, and sometimes boots/3 against certain matchups. I build into merc, brutalizer, phage,spirit visage, frozen mallet, atmas and finishing with building the brute into ghostblade and either last whisper for your final item or whatever situational tank item you need.

The reason I don't use magic resist blues or even really itemize it too much is his unnaturally high health and ult are pretty hard counters to burst, so merc/spirit visage is usually enough MR unless they have more than two heavy AP's.

For summoners I run Heal/ghost. He has a stun in his kit, and a dash, so I think pressing two buttons and gaining 1000 health is kind of a big deal for a tanky/ad caster like renekton.
