I really can't agree with the above build. Randuin's should never be the first item on nasus because it lacks CDR. Unless the top laner is olaf (in which all stats of randuins come in handy) the first item should either be frozen heart or spirit visage depending on if the enemy laner is AP or AD. In lower elos you should try to farm as much as possible during the laning phase, and keep the enemy laner in lane with you so its almost a permanent 4v4 with your team.

If you don't farm enough by the end of laning phase, its unlikely you'll get the chance to farm a lot as you can't rely on your team not getting into a 4v5 without you.

btw - you should build at least 1 spellblade item (tri if you're getting kited and iceborn if the enemy team is heavy on AD), and whilst BT is a really good item (heals for 750 each Q) it's really pretty much a sustain item on minions. If the enemy has enough armor, the lifesteal's not worth it. If the enemy doesn't have much armor, then you straight up win the fight anyway.

tl;dr build first item according to enemy laner, then build 1 spellblade item and stack tankiness. BT is good if your team is focused on objectives (go solo baron) but if your team is constantly teamfighting and their team is stacking armor, try either last whisper,ghostblade or blade of the ruined king. (depending on kite)
