For builds, i've been working on a build a bit down that has been surprisingly effective for me, but if you want something more standard i think Phils Stone > Boots > RoA > Frozen Heart > FoN core with whatever at the end is generally more effective.

As for fighting with him, keep the ult going for as long as possible in teamfights, be unpredictable with his W, and walking in front of the opponent before you use the Q. He requires a "touch" so to speak, so you really ust have to get experience in order to play right.
