Then he needs to fall back on to ad bruiser.
this is why i love how you write oracle :3, you know exactly what's needed

He's built like most bruisers, triforce is pretty much a must on him. One more damage item, like Bloodthirster for lifesteal, or Last Whisper for better scaling damage, then situation-based tank items. He probably would do amazingly well with a Randuin's, and I found he's not half bad with a Sunfire/Atma followed by a FoN for some pretty durable tanky dps.
But I'm not particularly good with energy-based champs, cause I tend to overspend my energy, so I might not be entirely accurate with it. But he definitely plays similar to Shen, except with more damage with less tankiness.
Also, if you use his ult just right, you have temporary invulnerability when you activate it, so you can use it to avoid some sticky situations if you play it smart.
btw, completely right, he is so strong early game that if you don't play it right, you'll be pushed to their tower and get ganked.
also, i lol'd when i managed to use my ult just before a ziggs ult hit me and killed me, following up with a kill on ziggs xD.

his cooldowns are already SO LOW (his ult is near lux stage CD just fyi) basically, you will have all cd gone each time a teamfight comes around unless your an idiot who wastes it at the wrong time, merc treads are amazing on him as it helps you get out of slows, snares, stun etc faster so you can W-W-Q them when they have run away and kill them.
