Skill order goes R > Q > W > E, with 1 early point in E to help gank. Get Q first because that's your only real damage output. Max E last because early ganking won't last long enough to give you a second pillar use even when its maxed. Summoner spells, get Smite for sure, then you can pick Ghost / Exhaust / Flash. I go with Ghost because it makes Trundle fly when he's on contaminated land.

Get standard AD bruiser runes of ArPen / flat AD marks & quints, flat armor seals and MR/level glyphs. Masteries go either 21 / 9 / 0 focusing on AD or 9 / 21 / 0 focusing on survival. Start with Wriggle's Lantern as all junglers do, then move on to Mercury's Treads.

Then you have to decide: if your carry wants your red and your AP wants your blue, start with Trinity or parts of Trinity then move on to build Warmog's + Atma's. If you hog all your buffs then it could be better going Atmog's first. Usually you won't get further than Triforce + Atmog's, but if you do, preferably get something tanky and you can take quite a beating. Maw of Malmortius, Force of Nature, Randuin's Omen or even another Warmog's is viable.

Ganking... just attempt to gank anyone who's overextending. Enter, Contaminate the floor, close the gap and attempt to bite once and AA a few times, once the enemy gets out of range, land your pillar on them to push them back into you. If all goes well you can have wasted both the enemy's flash and killed him.

If you're doing well, grab an Oracle's Elixir and sweep their wards.

One of the things Trundle does best is stealing Dragon. He can solo Dragon with relative ease at level 7. Which is why you should get Oracle's and sweep wards so the enemy team cannot gank you when you attempt a steal.

When in teamfights, look at the enemy's item lists and choose the one with the highest resists to Agony. Sometimes that may not be the tanky looking guy so you need to be aware what items the enemies' have got. There was an Alistar I went against that went pure HP and I got really crappy resists stolen from him and I died. The rest of the game I stole from their Riven instead.
