You build isn't that bad, but I wouldn't get both Cleaver and Malady at the same time unless your team is VERY well coordinated; and if you build either of them build it as your first or second item before armor becomes particularly high in the opposing team. Also emember that sometimes it's the team composition that leads to a loss and not the item build

Take a Bloodrazor instead of the thornmail, and build it after bloodthirster, otherwise you won't have enough AS. If you aren't winning your lanes with your items, build in a wriggles lantern instead of the thornmail before the Frozen Mallet.

You have no MR in this build. It's not absolutely necessary if the opposing team is AD oriented, but mercs tread, Wits End or another MR item should be built at one point or the other, trinity is good if you have no idea on what to build, because it's good on her.

so something like: zerks --> wriggles (if you need sustain in lane) or Mallet --> Bloothirster (if you didn't build Wriggles) or Mallet (if you built Wriggles) or Black Cleaver (if you want to deal a lot) --> Bloodthirster (if you didn't build it before) or Madred's (if the opposing team has a tank) or Thornmail (MOAR armor!) or Wit's End (for the MR) or Black Cleaver (for armor reduction) --> freestyle

You can replace the Mallet by a Trinity f you want to build it, and don't hesitate to replace your zerks by mercs if there is a lot of CC. If you don't build Wit's end, remember that you are very vulnerable to magic damage.
