Duede, you will melt in seconds! jk, but honestly, I have trouble seeing a squishy build work well in a normal game. He needs to be at point blank range and stay there. For another thing, I'm still debating CDR on him myself. I find my CDR blues to be plenty when I'm actually in the battle auto-attacking, and Skarner's a great candidate for blue buff so once people learn his mechanics hopefully he'll get it sometimes in premades and such (and if you're jungling you can just lay claim to it). I feel like his cooldowns benefit more from the tankiness and attack speed that allow you to make use of his passive than from building CDR, especially if it means remaining too squishy to reliably stay in a fight, and especially if it means dropping tenacity (which is especially essential for him since he has a movement speed buff instead of a gap closer). In that respect let me give a strong recommendation to. You still have to be careful while initiating, since it has less MR before you start hitting something, but once you close the gap and get those stacks it's good defense and synergizes perfectly with his passive.
