I don't think vayne has the base values to be able to build tanky. Even with a 0/30/0 mastery and no damage items, she simply won't scale well agaisnt actual tanks like shyv or renekton and won't properly fill the role.

However, I'm a big fan of swain tank. I frequently get triple kills simply by outlasting everyone else. Spirit visage is absolutely necessary (the cdr is really nice too) and first item SV can be super frustrating for your enemy laner since they won't be able to do any damage. Rod of Ages is another must since it's such a great mix of tank, sustain, and damage. Your core armor item is kind of up in the air, a zhonya's is nice for damage but it won't be enough to tank someone like yi or khazix: frozen heart and randuins should be what you look for. The key is to remember you dont win by doing damage, you win by outlasting other people through spellvamp and ulti.

My current flavour-of-the-week off meta build is hybrid nidalee bruiser. It's really just the standard hybrid jax build, but on nidalee.
