I don't think Sheen is a good choice at all. Sure in early game it gives some boost, but if you want damage - there are better items. If you want sustain - Sheen does not give one. What you should buy - boots 1 and three pots. First time back you can buy two dorans and up to three pots if needed. This will give you huge mana regen, a bit of survivability, which will make opponent twice before harrasing and increase the damage from skills. The pots will give enough sustain to the end of the lane phase. Catalyst and RoA are not a good choice. Fizz needs to burst people down in mid game and Catalyst slows down your damage development. After boots and dorans you should think about upgrading to sorcerer's shoes as soon as possible and buying either blasting wand or large rod for deathcap. After buying deathcap you should think about, what your team needs you to build next. More damage? Buy LichBane. More health? Buy RoA (unlikely that the game ends before the item is cost efficient). Your tanky DPS-sucks? You need Hourglass to initiate yourself.

But to answer your question - boots and 3 pots. Then two dorans. This set is enough for 90% lane opponents. If you meet someone, who outclasses you and you are scared of feeding him - Catalyst MIGHT be an answer but buy it only, when you see that your opponent can easily burst you down.
