Chalice is always there for you anyway.

Learn to last-hit with your AA. That's about it. If you use your spells only to trade damage you should do fine.

Remember, this isn't mid-lane, pushing your lane is baaaaad (except if you are rumble then you don't really care). Top lane is all about trade damage over a long period of time followed by a duel and the retreat or death of one of the parties involved. Make use of your spells sparingly to outtrade your opponent and use your ult in short bursts to regain your health: a small Decrepify in the opponent's face when he gets too close is usually enough to zone melee champs. Only burst them if they insist.
