And you're not too squishy whilst getting those offensive items? Or was Trinity/Rageblade/Wit's End not your build order but just a list of offensive items? Sorry to be pedantic, I'm just looking forward to playing him and you have a good understanding of item cost-effectiveness.

I was originally thinking Trinity Force then tanking items before he came out (like Jarv, Irelia, etc.), but with his hybrid style I was thinking Trinity Force, Gunblade, then tanking items. However, that's nearly 8K gold (more, because I'll probably be jungling with him and getting Wriggle's) until I get some tankiness, though the spell vamp and lifesteal might be enough to sustain and give me survivability until I can get tanky.
