I don't play Nasus much at all, but I just had a pretty good Dominion game with him. This is your standard "I just won one single game so obviously he's great!" story so disregard it at will. The other team was Riven, Shyvana, and Udyr, none of whom gave me trouble unless they were all together, Kassadin who I could not pin down, and Shaco, whose boxes were fodder for my Q.

I think it must be the combination of Wither's AS debuff, Spirit Fire's armour debuff, his high innate lifesteal (plus a vamp sceptre), and the synergy with Sheen which is cheap and therefore comes early. I had an easy time 1v1ing (and later on 2v1ing) enemy bruisers from mid-game onwards.

Tank/arpen runes, 9/21/0 tank/arpen masteries. Sheen, merc treads + second mantle, phage, wit's end, vamp sceptre. I finished triforce, built a frozen heart, and was working towards an Atma's starting with the crit cloak.

Max Q first but forget about farming it - do it in the downtime whenever you can, but you can't prioritise it over towers. I finished with only +69 damage on it from farming it up, but it was putting out the hurt quite well.
