As Epic said, Graves is better full AD. You should be running standard AD/Armor/MR with AD quints on him and rushing damage items on him like pickaxe to BFS to IE and BFS to Bloodthirster.

Just go full out AD on him and avoid Botrk. Graves has a REALLY good rebound if he loses lane, so as long as you can get a favorable fight in your hands he'll do well. Graves is probably one of the few champions I know and one of the only ADCs that can come back from a heavy loss and carry hard later in the game. He's also one of the few champs that can hard carry his team very well.
