yeah I would say glacial shroud is good enough at early stage. you should delay FH for more blue crystal.

I usually go tear, 4 blue crystal, then a boot as my core. I get plenty of mana to spam and build tear passive. Just that I need to be more careful with my HP bar.

catalyst and GS are next in the line up all depending the situation, say need more hp or want more damage.

finish banshee or FH if you need more defense, else go upgrade all remaining blue crystals to sheen and another tear or catalyst.

in the end I would get MR from lichbane and Banshee, armor from FH, your last situational item can always be a ROA or a duplicated of your core item unless you really need more defense than damage.
