Haunting Guise is also a fantastic laning item for her - AP, health, and the MPen to make her high base values shine. It can be sold later or upgraded into Liandry's, especially after the Rylai's.

There are some funky off-tank builds that people use too - I think Abyssal/Sunfire is the core from that one. They synergize with each other (aura and debuff aura), and you have every base covered: armor, MR, HP, and some decent AP to top it off. Full damage afterwards, but you're a tanky **** that dives like a pro.
