Zephyr seems fine, but it's basically a huge amount of gold spent on attack speed... Yet it may work as a late game splitpush item.

Sunfire Cape is not needed for pushing. You can get rid of minions just by Hydra's active and Decimate while still focusing the turret all the time.

I don't get it why everyone also wants to purchase Spirit Visage. There are champs that benefit from it a lot, but it's not Darius. He doesn't have any in-kit regen to boost. If you need MR, there are Malmortius and Banshee to get.

Essence Reaver is a total waste... Just not worth. AD is nice, CDR is nice, lifesteal maybe too, but the mana regain thing is out of place. Darius has low base mana, which makes flat mana bonuses way better than percent based. You'd just find yourself out of mana in the middle of dunking, and to be able to do another combo, you'd need to hit a couple of basic attacks, but there's just no time for that.
