The wiki page for them claims Iron Skin does work with shielding as well (haven't tried it yet as I prefer conditioning so IDK for sure). And although approach velocity is fairly item reliant, you should always get rylai's early because without it you lack almost any way to stay attacking a fleeing foe.

As for jungle runes in specific, I've played him once or twice in the jungle, and found he didn't need much help in the way of sustain, so I think taking resolve second rather than first is probably better (Also grasp is less useful in the jungle)

So I think I would try doing a Precision-Resolve, taking

Press the attack for bunches of damage (a normal auto followed by 3 Q autos makes the last one do way more)

Overheal because you can get very substantial healing from your W, and Morde is good at maintaining a high health pool

Whichever legend you prefer (I would take tenacity, unless I was doing AD Morde)

And either Coup de grace for finishing executing people with the ult, or last stand to do more damage (and thus generate shield faster) while on low health

In resolve, I would take

unflinching because the tenacity and slow resist on summoner spell casts works very well with smite's low cooldown

And either Iron skin because early armor helps out a lot in a physical damage dealing jungle (although he does pretty well farming in the jg, so this might not be needed), Overgrowth for the later game health, or Revitalize for the heal and shield buff
