The three core items are Essense Reaver, Infinity Edge and Rapid Firecannon. These three items take you up to almost 500AD.

Boots can be Berserker's Greaves to add even more damage on and get higher MS boosts when he crits. Mercury Treads if they have stuns. I particularly like Boots of Swiftness to position faster since he's exceptionally slow to move around. Or Ionian boots to cast more stuff.

You're going to need a last whisper item so Lord Dominic's Regards can really boost your damage. And your last item can be ether more damage or a defensive item. I highly recommend Mercurial Scimitar or Death's Dance for both.

And a note about lifesteal: It's really really strong early game when he's getting free crits on every 4th shot. He can heal up so much which also can negate his weakness to poke in the early game. BUT.... Lifesteal is worse on him lategame due to his low attackspeed and reliance on casting. I like to get a Vamp Scepter early on but then leave it as that until lategame when I can turn it into one of the above lifesteal items.
