I haven't done much item testing, but I think I'm pretty settled on masteries. I put a few extra points in the defense tree to get all the armor and I moved some points around in the utility tree. I got rid of the GP/10 and cookie mastery and instead took vampirism and strength of spirit. Those give you a bit more breathing room when it comes to jungle sustain.

He also got a small buff on his shield (it now goes 100/150/200/250/300, so basically +20 for all ranks) today on the PBE, which is nice, but I don't think it matters much.

I also went back to the more recommended build of: Machete + pots, then boots + Aegis + Philo. However I now prefer to get Elder Lizard instead of Ancient Golem. So the final build I usually work towards now is: Elder Lizard, boots of mobility, Runic Bulwark, Randuin's and Philo. After that it depends on what I need (more defense or more offense). You might want to switch Elder Lizard with Ancient Golem (for the tenacity), but other than that I think that's a very solid build for him in almost any situation.
