I don't personally like Trinity Force. Nocturne's cooldowns are too high for him to consistently proc the Spellblade passive. However, this item has a lot of useful stats for Nocturne, it may depend from personal preference, but I prefer to go with Blade of Ruined King.

Although I usually prefer to use Spirit of the Elder Lizard as my only damage item and then go full tank, although I do more damage items if there is already an specialized tank on my team. I don't like Feral Flare anymore as this forces Nocturne to stay at his jungle for too much time, and I never used Spirit of the Ancient Golem even when this item had tenacity, because it was too weak otherwise and didn't offered nearly as much damage. Even nowadays, while SotAG was buffed (and a lot!) I still prefer to go with Elder Lizard for more damage. After all, Nocturne is not a tank (he can't trade damage with the opponent if he doesn't buy damage, even if he builds very tanky.
