I find one of my better builds for him to be, in this order:

Nashor's Tooth (AP, CD reduction, AS)

Mercury's Treads (MR, Tenacity)

Rod of Ages (AP, Health, Mana)

Archangel Staff (AP, Mana, Mana-based AP)

Void Staff (AP, MP)

Rabadon's Deathcap (AP, AP boost)

This results in a durable, yet extremely powerful build, allowing Xerath to survive major team fights and pick off weak enemy champions. The Nashor's Tooth also helps Xerath to land more killing blows on minions with the 50% attack speed boost, allowing him to earn gold faster, on top of giving 25% CD reduction and 65 AP. It makes him pretty dangerous early game, which can lead to him being fed come late-game.
