My build: start boots + 3 pots. never start dorans, if you screw up early, 80% you'll be screwed for the rest of the game. boots + pots allow you to farm in peace till lvl 4. You should try farming your way to a brutalizer + a doran's blade, or if you can farm really well (like me) stay in lane till you have enough for 2 doran's instead of one. Bonus points if you managed to kill your lane a couple of times, but don't be all too risky. At this point you should probably start roaming for some kills if lanes present the possibility. Coordonate with your jungler.

At this point, you will start building your bloodthirster(BF first), and you'll also build maw of malmortius. Why? because the only real danger that you face in team fights is nukes and cc, because your high lifesteal will probably let you survive well enough when fighting physical champs.

At this point, if you were able to farm optimally and gank alot, is when you should buy a last whisper. If not, you should probably buy it sooner. You depend alot on having as much of your burst pass through, so the penetration it provides along with brutalizer are mandatory.

Next, you decide the order in which you build trinity force, banshee's veil, and finishing ghost blade.

Trinity complements your burst, gives you speed, and plenty of other useful stats. Banshee to complete your defense against burst, ghost blade for the better stats, and maybe the active.

No infinity, no frozen mallet. Why? because you're not an auto attacker. Infinity and mallet are for guys who deal most of their damage with auto attacks, because mallet makes you able to stick to the target so you can punch it to death, and infinity is worth it when you have big enough attack speed to make lots of crit procs. As Talon, you won't have to or need to auto attack more than once to proc diplomacy, and maybe once or twice more to finish the job
