I used to take Stormraiders Surge back when that was a thing, it always procced when you actually needed it and never too early. Nowadays though Aftershock is just too good on him to not take. I like experimenting with other runes but Phase Rush is definitely sub optimal. Aftershock, Predator, and funnily enough Lethal Tempo are all better most of the time, partially cause you're not forced to take swifties. Phase rush needs swifties to work properly with his W, and Ninja Tabi much like Thornmail and Aftershock is virtually essential on him unless you're dealing with a 4x AP team. It changes him from a very tanky champion, to an almost physically impregnable champion.
