Why would you get a sunfire cape? you are a very long range mage you shouldn't ever be in there face long enough for sunfire cape to help you. If going top I think you should build more like Swain with Rod of ages, Randuins, Banshee's veil for defense then Nashor's, boots and either Rabadon's, Zhonya's or Void Staff as a third item.

He is better in the mid lane and should be played like Karthus in my opinion, you can get an early mana item, tear or chalice depending on match up and how you like to build him and some CDR, then farm from a distance using your soldiers which will be up constantly if you use them only one at a time.
