Don't rush atmogs, if your team can't deal enough damage you'll be kited to death and will be dealing shit damage.

Gunblade rush is the most efficient build I've been using lately. It gives you very good sustain and when you pop that ultimate noone can really stay and trade hits with you. With Warmogs you'd be a huge meat shield at that time that deals shit damage outside of ult and mediocre when it is popped.

Now, lately I've had great success laning him mid vs squishy aps, especially good because most of them don't have that many sustain spells nor too many escapes (like many bruisers do). I pick surge ignite when soloing mid (with full flat mr yellows, blues and quints) and literally destroy anyone i jump on after 6 when i pop Surge -> Ulti -> W -> Q -> E -> Ignite. After that I go like the Akali build Rylais (for more hp and the slow), Deathcap, Lichbane and possibly a WotA (if I have another AP with WotA) or DFG or GA.

On top lane you'll have to swap out Surge for Flash or you'll be destroyed by ganks (prolly camped too), possibly ignite for tp too for better map/objectives control. That reduces your early game killing power by a whole lot, especially if you think who you'll be against on top lane (bruisers mostly). You need to play it safe there, farm your Gunblade and then go for either Fratmas or Atmogs. This is expensive but it kind of works, since you'll need to be beefy for the teamfights. One of the better items for AD Jax is Triforce since it gives him everything he wants in offense as well as GA that boosts all defensive stats a melee carry would need.
