AD Jax is only effective against a melee AD heavy based team, and that mainly has to do with his ultimate's active. If you build heavy AD, you're going to start seeing your ultimate gives you a lot of armor as a result (AD gives you more armor, AP gives you more m-resist). Plus, with AD Jax, you need to stay in range a lot longer to consistently keep doing damage, because you're not as burst intensive.

I've found that starting out with a couple of Doran's blades, getting a ninja tabi (your opponents should be AD heavy to warrent AD jax anyways, only get mercs if they also have lots of CC), a bloodthirster, then a gunblade and a black cleaver. PD is almost worthless on Jax, it's better to get straight AD and attack speed where you can.
