Gameplay
First of all I need to stress how important it is that you start with 
Phase Boots. They will not only help you survive but also give you the extra dmg you need early game. The active also stacks well with your windrun so use if often. I chose the other items mainly because of windrunner's ultimate, 
Focus Fire. The max attack speed but redused damage works out if you stack alot of dmg and crit. So the main items to focus on are the 
Crystalys, 
Orchid Malevolence, and 
Shadow Blade in whichever order you like best. The early orchid not only gives you a good amount of dmg, int (which is also dmg), attack speed, but also mana which lets you spam power shot. The crystalys is dmg and crit which stacks very well with your ult. By the time you get both items even strenght characters will wonder what is happening when you ult them and their health just drains to nothing. The shadow blade makes you even harder to kill while also giving you a good amound of dmg. Finally I get 
Mjollnir because of its orb effect which helps in team fights but also gives you so much attack speed that you dont even need to ult anymore. I put the divine rapier on there as the final item, but I would only suggest getting this item if you are making a final push because if you die your team will lose if the oppenents pick up the rapier. Other than that with all the attack speed and crit the +250 dmg will destroy all.
[*] Starting Items
I choose to start with a
Sage's Mask, mantle of inteligence and a 
Tango. The Sage's Mask and mantle of inteligence give you just enough mana regen to let you spam 
Powershot once in a while to let you last hit and harass the other team. The Tango is for when you are getting harassed back.
[*] Mid Game
Here I try to rush my Phase Boots. It allows windrunner to kite her opponets much easier, to harass and last hit easier, and to catch and kill opponents who try to escape.
After that I focus on getting Crystalys because its easy to build and gets you that fast dmg and crit you really need. The 
Force Staff is the next obvious choise becasue it gives you dmg, attack speed, a cheap escape and intelligence which adds to your mana. (A secondary choice to this would be a Shadow Blade it gives all of the above minus the intelligence, but instead, it gives you extra dmg upon coming out of the cloak. I would not recomend getting both force stafff and shadow blade as the force staff and phase boots should be all the escape you need.)
If you are having a hard time farming or getting zoned try building a
Bracer and 
Null Talisman to help boost you stats.
[*] Late Game
By this point you should have both the Crystalys and the Force Staff. This is the point you can deviate depending on the situation and personal preferences. I sometimes go for Orchid Malevolence here because it gives plenty of mana plus a lot more dmg and attack speed. However, with the force staff, instead of the shadow blade, you should have sufficient mana and can either go straight into the 
Daedalus or can get a 
Helm of the Dominator to help with survivability. I usually focus on finishing the Daedalus because the higher crit and dmg help amazingly with Focus Fire.

The skill order i use allows me to farm, while harassing with the Powershot. I get one point in 
Windrun early to prevent first bloods and 
Shackleshot at 4 for when my lane partner and I want to get that kill. The Powershot is most important for laning while the Shackleshot is important for team fights. You wait on your ult because at level 1 it is really counter productive to have max attack speed with half-dmg. By level 11 you should be using your ult on everything including towers and barraks.
