Flask + Pots offers sustain in the form of extended trades and Health + Mana. It's a good start against ranged characters that use abilities to harrass you. Champions such as Karma, Diana, Kayle or even Yorick. It does help if you need the sustain, so I do agree it has it's uses.

I don't think Boots + Pots is a good start for ranged. If you want to start against ranged, do a Jungle Camp with Doran Shield and Teleport to Lane.

21/9 does help you in your damage, but remember you are also a frontline to protect, bodyguard and also a central focus to the enemy team due to how you can just go off and multikill their entire team. You can do it, if you are confident, but 9/21 seems to be a better setup. Also, yes, I do know that your passive scales with AD but remember, it's magic damage and your main form of damage in teamfights is your decimate. Every little thing you can get to get the base damage of that thing higher is more damage towards your mid to late game, where I think Darius starts to falter off unless you can get a Ultimate Reset Chain.

Have fun with Darius man!
