Right now I'm pwning top with the following build, I'm using damage masteries, arpen red runes, armor yellow, mr x lvl blues and lifesteal quints, from masteries and runes I start with 9% lifesteal, enough to keep me going early levels, combined with 19 flat arpen +10%,

I start the game with doran's shield since most tops are melee ad, otherwise I go for boots+pots. I rush an early brutalizer which increases a lot my damage output, then I go for boots/finish them all the time I go for yellow boots so I'm ready to start roaming, chasing. After a few kills or good farm I upgrade the brutalizer for Youmuu's and now I can chase/run away most of the times. After that I build a Bloodthirster and thats all the damage I need for now.

After bloodthirster I start building defense/mr since all we use Darius know, we are very very hated, I get a negatron cloack and chain vest, I upgrade them later to force of nature and randuin's respectively. Finally I get last whisper since it increases my damage better than another bloodthirster and it's cheaper.

Full build my stats are 305 AD, 39 arpen| 59% arpen, 179 armor, 185 mresist, 2500 or so hp and a nice 500 or so movespeed with Youmuu's active.

As you see my damage output is very high, combined with high defense, decent hp (get red pot and you get around 2800hp) and excellent movespeed.
