I'm gonna have to agree mostly with the guy above me. I would say building into Hextech Gunblade first is most effective, but then get stuff like Rylai's, Triforce, and maybe a hat or maybe even a Rageblade, if you are feeling like it. I'm personally not a fan of build too tanky on him, outside of a GA or something to that effect, because your passive already gives you some beef and by his nature hes not really an extremely tanky character (your dodge helps with this, as well). For starters, I personally go with ring to start because I build AP runes to boost his early game, rather than AD.

As far as skilling goes, I usually build Q up first, followed by W with a point in Q and building your ult when you can. This is mostly because his Q freakin hurts and the cooldown drastically decreases with level. You want to be able to chase most effectively with the shorter cooldown jump. Having a shorter cooldown empower won't do anything for you if you can't jump to them often. Thats just my personal style. I'm sure you could get away with like 3 points in Q then maxing your W, but thats just not how I like to do things.

Runes and playstyle...meh. Dodge yellows, health quints maybe, magic pen marks, some crap for blue. Really the magic pen and dodge is the important part. What I like doing is building AP quints and blues for some early game burst combined with the ring, but I feel like you could get away with a lot. In lane....hit some minions, don't be dumb, and W + Q some squishes until they go crying home to mama.
