I'm having a lot of luck rushing Manamune into BotRK, then Guinsoo's Rageblade then Essense Reaver when you're finishing up charging Muramana. Final item can be ether Youmuu's, Gunblade or Mercurial Scimitar (mostly Mercurial).

Skill build is (R ->) E -> Q -> W. With the first few levels being E/Q - Q/E - E - W - E - R

This lets you one shot a minion wave at level 6 with E-R and an auto attack on all the melee minions. You'll never get pushed in and you can ether pick the fights you want, or never be in the fights you don't.

Masteries are  18-12-0. Always get the bonus damage on-hit Keystone Mastery and keep it charged as much as you can, on Kog it has the same power of a free item. Early on it's a free Pickaxe, lategame it's a free Infinity Edge.
