I'm thinking an AP bruiser build is optimal on this guy; given his propensity for sustained AoE damage and CC (plus the shield when he dashes into an enemy), I think he's better suited as fighter than a bursty mage type.

I think the best 2 core items for bruiser Azir would be Athenes + Frozen Heart for max CDR, then Rylai's because the slow works amazingly well with his kit, and the health + AP are also very nice. The rest of the build is pretty flexible, for a higher damage build you could add on Sorc Shoes/ DCap/ Void Staff. For a tankier build, you could go Merc Treads/ RoA/ Void Staff.
