First of all, Skarner is a very versatile champion, one of my favorites. There are many builds for him, but this one is my favorite. Remember to think about why you are buying an item and make sure it fits the context of the game as well as your playstyle, while complimenting or amplifyng your champions strengths.

For jungling, I prefer this item sequence.

Regrowth ->philo ->boots -> HoG -> Mercs -> Reverie -> Wits End* -> Sheen*. After that, you can build triforce for more damage/all around excellent stats, randuins for more tankiness, or gunblade for pure damage/sustain.

You decide whether to build sheen or wits first, against a double ap comp always go wits. If you manage to get a shurelyas in laning phase you can gank anything you want as well as pull people much further with your ult. Late game it is amazing for engages, as well as giving you health, CDR, mana, and hp regen.

Final build ends up being something like:

Merc Treads, Shureylas Reverie, Wits end, Triforce, Randuins.+ Whatever you need at the end.

Force of nature for MR, Gunblade for damage, Thornmail vs heavy AD IF you are getting focused.

This lets you be a solid initiator/offtank/bruiser peeler.

I rarely, rarely build warmogs, but if you do, I would replace wits end with atmas.

TLDR: I absolutely love Reverie on skarner and Wits end is an amazing item.
