I find boots of mobility very fun to use with Veigar because casting his E doesn't "enter combat", so you can run up, plop a cage around the enemies, and quickly run away.

Another thing is after playing a good number of games with Veigar you'll secretly want to build tanky items because it's pretty difficult to avoid dying a couple times in early game. If one of the two first items gives health (e.g. Rod of Ages) then by the time Veigar can get a third item, it can be Warmog's and he'll have the 2700 health necessary to grant the extra health regen.

In general I think the most important thing about Veigar is not to overextend. Don't try and poke enemies when they have reinforcements nearby. I think the especially dangerous champions are high-mobility physical champions like Yasuo and Zed and other champs with powerful stuns/grabs like Morgana or Blitzcrank.

Veigar's burst capacity makes me wonder how well he'd do in the jungle, I'll have to look into it and post back.
