I main with jax, and I also was very sad about the nerf. I did, however, find an awesome way to reduce how much I die in teamfights. You'll probably think its stupid, but I add a Hextech Gunblade to my items as soon as the laning starts to break down. The combined lifesteal and spell vamp is awesome on jax, because almost everything he does in a fight heals him. When this is combined with the acceleration from the ulti and rageblade, i find i can stay in a fight much longer. Depending on the enemy team, i could also sacrifice the extra dodge from tabi and choose murcury treads. These just help keep my attack speed up in big fights.

Also, try jungle-jax. Starting at golems with smite and vamperic scepter, then jumping between all the weak monsters until level 5, building wriggle's lantern. (trust me, its not useless) You can take out Golem or Lizard as soon as you have the claws. Then dragon is easy at level 6. I only buy jump at 7, then straight away, find someone that needs a good old fasioned gank. If all goes well, you will have picked up a kill or assist, both buffs, extra gold from dragon, AND ubered up the champ in the solo lane. You might not end up being the carry in your team, but the solo champ (if they can handle it) will be extremely powerful, maybe having picked up a few kills.
