I don't play Lucian, and so I'm not going to use my experience, but instead attempt to extrapolate from what I've been seeing every Korean ADC do in tournaments. That's not to say it's the best, but it can always provide insight into something you might not have thought of.

Their build is usually like this, in this order and excluding boots. Triforce, Last Whisper BotRK, Defense, IE.

Now Triforce is a given and you seem to like it first too. Great synergy with his kit. He can make some use of all the stats and unique passives. Good first buy.

Last Whisper. You already have great burst as Lucian from what I've seen, and your passive makes it so you don't need much AS yet. The logical next item would increase your burst. Last Whisper gives you a decent chuck of AD, and some great pen which is nice against the Full Tank Top meta that is showing up.

BotRK is again, great for those full tank tops, as well as the many tanky junglers that are popular right now. It also gives you the life steal you want and AS, plus a great active and makes Lucian a great dueler, in addition to being one of the burstiest ADC's ever.

4th item is usually a great time to pick up defense. GA is good and the other option is Merc Scimitar. Of course, that's only really good in high cc situations, or against Zed, so situational.

Finally IE. You already have an ok amount of crit from Triforce, so top it all of with IE, and you are critting more often, for more damage. Great way to round out a bursty Lucian build, while uping your AA DPS.

I prefer merc treads late game but hey, whatever floats your boat. Lucian can use Swiftness a lot better than most so go for it.
