Start boots+3 pots against people who have lots of skillshots. Start Bottle+pots against people with a lot of harass (you shouldn't need a ward, your clone juking should be enough). Start faerie charm+pots/bottle (if you wait at spawn for long enough you can buy the bottle and you only loose 1 or 2 CS) if you know you are going to win your lane.

Then you build boots->Brutaliser unless you are loosing your lane hard and need survivability. After that, I recommend a Phage because it's a nice boost in HP, the passive is very good on Wu and you can upgrade it into either more damage or more health. After that finish the Black Cleaver. From then on it depends on what you want.

If you want to go assassin or prioritise damage, I suggest: Trinity->Maw of Malmortius->Guardian Angel. KEEP YOUR CLONE TO ESCAPE, and ONLY ATTACK THE SQUISHY CARRIES, don't jump in the middle of the fight with this build.

If you want to go bruiser, I suggest: Warmogs->Trinity->Guardian Angel/Aegis of the Legion. You wait for your team to initiate and then you E+Q the closest enemy and hit as many people as you can with your ult; then you keep E+Qing the squishies.

If you want to go on the more tanky initiator type, I suggest: Aegis of the Legion (it's really really strong)->Warmogs->Trinity->Randuin's Omen (that item is sleeper OP, protects you from AD carry damage and gives you a slow for during your ult). You engage with Q+E, ult, laugh as you spin to win, then keep punching things until you are low-life and W out to safety.

Start with those builds until you feel comfortable, then once you know the champ you can consider building riskier items like Manamune or swapping around items to get a build you like.

tl;dr: BC (and phage but people might disagree) is core, Warmogs, Frozen Mallet and Aegis are never bad on Wukong; if you need damage get Muramana or Trinity, if you need resistances then get Randuin's or Maw/Banshee's Veil
