Flask got an increase in price, so its either boots and 3 pots or flask + pots depending on lane matchup. Masteries and Runes look good. Do consider lane matchup if in Ranked. If its normal hope they have a jungler or you're facing 2 in lane, which can be very difficult for Heca since he has no poke and is generally mana intensive early on.

As for items, that's what I usually get but Heca's build path is extremely large and varied. Now that Sunfire Cape's recipe cost got increased, it might be wiser to get 2 other items than one Sunfire Cape (such as Glacial Shroud + 1 other item). If the team needs a tank, then go Tank-carim. If you are doing fine in lane, then you can go slightly more offensive, although the only 2 items I tend to build on him are TF and MoM. I find Black Cleaver a so-so item on him and its semi-situational. Iceborn is pretty solid but I personally prefer Frozen Heart for the Aura -helps the team- and gi-normous increase in AR, mana and CDR. BT...well, like Cleaver I find it so-so on Heca as well. It is pretty good end game if you have the items to complement it but the stats seem better on other bruisers/assassins.
