I typically start a longsword + 3 hp pots. More AD, and more upfront sustain imo, plus a good chunk of gold extra by not buying/selling that Doran's blade.

My end build usually looks this: Berserker Greaves. Blood Thirster, Phantom Dancer, Essence Reaver, Last Whisper, and Infinity Edge(Not necessarily in that order).

Berserker Greaves can be sold later if needed for Merc Treads if it's really necessary. BT because godly sustain + AD is god on Draven, all around great on him. Phantom dancer so you can never be body blocked out of axes, plus great stats. Essence Reaver because it's the blue bloodthirster, and also infinite bloodrush spam. Last Whisper because derp, pen is your friend. IE because while your axe bonus damage can't crit, the attack behind the axe can.

End game with an elixir I usually have around 500+ AD, 40% lifesteal, and am critting 1.5k. My defensive item is more lifesteal and damage, and honestly it's worked out really well; as long as you don't put yourself in a horrible situation, you should be golden.
