Volibear's W is only good early to mid game. The scaling behind it is too low for it to be extremely useful late game, but it's a nice bit of burst damage. His real damage comes from OHGODDATLIGHTNING flying everywhere, or just mauling them because you're a mother fucking bear.
That being said, you can't really go wrong with Volibear. He really benefits from almost anything. However, I personally like doing a sort of hybrid off-tank build.
Basically, spirit visage, trinity force or frozen mallet or rylais, rageblade, and defensive items are what I pretty much follow.
Spirit visage increases the passive's bonus, I find you'll get ignited quite often anyways, so that little extra health regen helps counter its reduced healing effect. The three or items are for their slow and assorted damage, depending on the type of damage you need/want to deal. Frozen is AD Voli, Rylai is AP Voli, and Trinity is Hybrid Voli. Rageblade just helps in general, because you autoattack faster, your ap goes up, it's in general just good stuff for Volibear. And it's dirt cheap too. Defensive items to get him a bit tankier, as you don't have any actual tankyness outside of your passive.
