Hmmm... I can't really remember if it was possible to jungle with Rammus before level 30. Armor penetration and armor are probably essential for runes with a health quint if you can. For masteries you should probably max the health/mana regeneration and experience increase on the utility side (8 points maybe?) and use the remaining 6 or so points in defense focusing on physical defense.

You have the skill order correct and considering you don't have access to the full complement of runes and masteries it might be essential to get that second rank of DBC. Although, PT does also reduce armor.... that could work too. I guess it will just take trial and error and some practice against bots. I don't have Rammus on my smurf account so I can't really test it.

If it doesn't seem possible to jungle with him before higher levels then the best thing to do with Rammus while laning is to play very conservatively. Focus on last hitting and not pushing. If you do manage to push your lane beyond river take that oppurtunity to gank the other lanes with PB or go back and shop. Also, a Gp5 item like Heart of Gold or Philosopher's Stone might be a good idea.

Another thing while laning, leveling up your taunt and letting the enemy push becomes even more important. If they are careless and getting close to tower you can taunt them causing the tower to attack them.
