^ Sunfire sticked into most of core builds since release, but it's a bad item there in overall. It doesn't synergize with Darius' playstyle. Sunfire is for permastick tanks, like Rammus, Shen or some others. Darius indeed sticks well, but in fact just for a while, there isn't enough time to proc some real damage. If you need armor and health though, either pick up Randuin instead or get those stats from separate items.

Best items... there are some different builds. If your team can provide you good engages, go half defense and half damage. Average build of that kind would be Frozen Heart, Randuin, Malmortius, Hydra, some defense/offense item and boots, in any order. If you need to engage, swap Righteous Glory with one of items. If you get good enough at Darius and feel like you can carry lots of matches, try out: Youmuu, LW, Frozen Heart, Righteous Glory, Hydra/Malmortius and boots, once again order doesn't matter. This build is quite risky as you don't get much defense, but once you get really good at dunking, it becomes broken.

I use the third build mostly, and it still works awesomely even in diamond.
