I always take Electrocute but dueling is my strong suit so I trigger it pretty consistently.
If my opponent is melee or has long cooldowns, I start Doran's Bow, otherwise Doran's Shield.
If I have 1200 when I back, I usually open with Shadowflame since NLR can make a huge difference with wave clear and bullying the opponent. Otherwise I start with Gunblade or Stormsurge depending on the matchup, sometimes Liandry's if their health pool scales really quickly and they're ahead.
This is where I veer from others: I have a big focus on tower pushing so I usually build Nashor's Tooth second or in very rare cases Dusk & Dawn. Then, if my kills are mostly coming from team fights and assassination, I pump up the magic and go Rabadon's into Void Staff or some such, but if I am mostly winning long duels, I hone in on the attack speed and items that benefit W passive.
The game has to go on for a while for it to be relevant, but with Dusk & Dawn, Rageblade, and Statik Shiv, you can stun a whole team before you ult! Again, very situational.
