Apparently top lane or jungle is best for him, I've seen a lot of Critplank builds but it SEEMS to me that Tankplank is actually best. He provides a ton of utility with is ult, while W helps him shrug off that CC.

If you want to try out something new with Gangplank, I suggest going support. Take all the gold masteries and go the same Tankplank, except harrassing enemies hard instead of farming gold with Parrley. Your E gives the ADC free ad and movespeed, and your ult is pretty much the 'kill secured' spell. I have actually seen a large number of support Gangplanks and they did quite well. Their lategame power is superior to most supports in terms of tankiness and damage, pretty much like Alistar.
