Depends. I always go Philosopher Stone as my first build item. If you get Ninja Tabi, you can upgrade Philosopher Stone into Elesia's Miracle. That way you can have both Damage Reduction and Tenacity.

But I still go for Merc because of Tenacity early game while still have Passive "Gold Per 5 seconds" in my possession.

So try to shift between those 2 and see which fit you best.

My build:
 * Regrowth Pendant -> Philosopher Stone -> Shurelia's Reverie if Merc is taken, or Elesia's Miracle if Ninja Tabi is taken.
 * Boots -> Mercury Threads (it gives good magic resist,) otherwise Ninja Tabi against (DPS or AD caster)
 * Glacial Shrouds -> Frozen Heart
 * Sheen -> Trinity Force
 * Force of Nature
 * last item can be situational (Thornmail, Atma or Stark's Fervor).
