As the ADC you really only have one defensive item to build. Guardian Angel. It doesn't hurt to apparantly come out the gate with armor runes. Graves has burst. He gets slowly tankier in a sustained engage but the damage doesn't follow. A melter turns Graves armor into a joke but you might be worried about the damage you're taking.

As a mage you should be buying Seeker's Armguard for Zhonya's hourglass. If you are REALLY worried about it you can buy one as a support but don't rush it. Crucible is also good if you can use it before or after a Graves combo.

You can take exhaust. You were probably taking that already though.

I don't think you have to do anything in paticular build wise you have a damage role. You sort of have to build damage. Support and certain mages should peel and tank for you so being dealt the bulk of Graves' damage isn't a worry until you have to out trade him.
