I honestly don't recommend CDR boots - they're great early and if you really need the CDR on summoner abilities, but if you can get CDR elsewhere, you should - but if you feel you need them early, keep in mind you might want to replace them. Because of lack of defensive item synergy, ninja tabi is one of the few armour items you'll get.

Deaths dance, almost definitely. And last whisper items are situational good ones. Bloodthirster's still good, though pricey. Maw of malmortius and/or scimitar almost always, too, depending on cc. Duskblade honestly feels like a trap, even though it's really cheap for its stats.

A lot of things with resistances are good for synergy with shield - but I've had hard to explain success with frozen mallet.

Randuin's omen is basically better due to getting more resistances and sticking power.
