I think building some critical strike maybe better than build pure lethality on him.

His Q and E have low AD ratio. And both of them are utility skill. Meaning if you use it for damage then your utility will be less, But if you use it for utility then you will lost the damage. Throw in some critical strike to amplify his auto attack to make up for the lost. Also add Titanic in there to for maximize damage with auto attack reset + additional source of burst.

For example the build I use. Duskblade/Youmuu/BC/IE/Shiv and Titanic.

This will give you total of 341 bonus AD, 35% atk speed , 60% critical strike(new IE in that patch), and total of  627-767 damage (Duskblade+ Shiv+Hydra).

Meaning he can deal 1062-1202 to warping 1497-1637 damage in a single strike of his AA. Without even combine with his skill yet.

Also with 341 bonus AD meaning his ulti will execute enemy that have 1097 hp or below. Most of squishy target will be nearly dead after the first hit, You can go hit them once and instant ult while still don't have to waste most of his skill to drop them below the threshold.

And with additional atk speed + Titanic Hydra. You can weave your AA to down the bruiser or tank too. 2-3 critical strike in the row should be enough for your ult to kill them.This give him much better dueling power in the long fight if first option doesnt suit the situation.

His ulti is kinda deal true damage anyway. Meaning it better to drop your target's hp as fast as possible. And critical can do that way better than pure AD or Lethality.
