I've found that you really need all the help in the jungle before your level 2 W. So I run 9/21/0, taking all the jungle specifics from Defence. Without all the help at the start he's pretty low health when a gank needs to happen.

My runes are pretty much full Defence, flat armor reds, scaling armor/mres on the others, and movement speed quints.

I start with regen and pots and built that into Philo, then Boots, then Aegis if support's not building it. After those I take some HP (maybe HoG or just a Belt), and after that Abyssal. Everything else has really been situational (really tanky if our team doesn't have other initiators, or tanky AP if we have one). I've never build Rylai's though, I feel that it's slow effects are kinda waste on Nauti who's a walking beacon of slow himself.

But I feel that really the best advice for jungle Nauti is that when ganking, try to engage with your passive first. If it looks like the gankees are getting away use Q, but try to hold on to that Q after their flash. So, so many times I've come to take away their flash AND their lives.
