Having played approximately 10 AD Sion games in normals, I can attest to the fact that jax is a very hard matchup. It's rather sad, because Jax is supposed to be one of those guys with a "weak early, ridiculous late", except his early is stronger than yours... best bet is to sit under turret and stack up, don't give kills, ping MIAs, etc. The 1/10 Sion games I have won was against a Nasus, but a very derpy Nasus, and as such it doesn't deserve mention because it's a bad skill matchup, not a bad champ matchup, for the opponent. In the late-late game, though, if you get thornmail Nasus will kill himself before he kills you... infinite health, he has infinite damage, therefore you reflect infinite damage back at him.. only your infinite health is greater than his infinite damage because it stacks more quickly :)

And regarding mana: there is one thing you need to know about playing AD Sion and ability usage. ONLY EVER MAX E AND ONE OTHER ABILITY AT A TIME. Personally I like to max E and Q. Don't even put one point in W - it's a waste of mana, it's way more mana efficient to just max one. Alternatively, if you're going up against a really hard matchup, you could put all your points into W instead of Q, but the important thing to note is to only max one at a time - ignore the other completely.
