I've been playing with the following:
Boots + 3p -> double Dorans -> Trin force
Boots + 3p -> Vamp sceptre -> Trin force
Boots + 3p -> Cutlass -> Trin force
Boots + 3p -> Philo -> TF
It depends on the lane but I think the vamp sceptre -> TF is the ideal build i'd want to go for because it allows you to hit his godmode status earliest. However the double dorans is necessary against certain laners because you can't take advantage of just standing in the minion line and bullying anyone who comes closest.
After TF, I agree with the previous posters, go for tanky. Wits, Giant's belt, GA, Hex Drinker, Randuins. Things like that to just keep you auto attacking longer.
