Intro - Why Gangplank?
To start off I buy Brawler's Gloves and a mana and health pot. If you are lucky enough to be laning with Soraka you can buy two health pots. This build is quite expensive and as such, requires very efficient farming. When you've earned enough gold or (hopefully not) are forced from your lane build an Avarice Blade followed by Boots of Speed. Your next item will be The Brutalizer giving you AD, CR, and ArP and building into Youmuu's Ghostblade later on. Buy a Last Whisper ASAP because it will increase your damage output tremendously.
I'm still not entirely sold on the Manamune. The extra mana regen and bonus AD is nice, but in all honesty the slot will probably be better used with a Banshee's Veil. Whatever you decide to buy at this point, it's a good chance to add some utility. You can now upgrade your boots as well. If you choose a route other than Ionian Boots of Lucidity you will need another source of CR. Finally you can buy your B.F. Sword, upgrade to a Youmuu's Ghostblade, and work on finishing the Infinity Edge. The Phantom Dancer is certainly a good item for Gangplank, but this can also be replaced with any survivability or utility item depending on the state of the game.
Building these items will maximize the damage of Parrrley by focusing on AD and ArP, while bringing your CR just over the 40% cap.
My masteries are 21/0/9 with the intention of doing the most damage possible.
Mid game: Be very aware of the other lanes. A well placed/timed Cannon Barrage can swing the lane in your team's favor. Remove Scurvy breaks you out of all crowd controls, so those Ashe Arrows aren't so scary, but you're still a squishy bearded man. Keep farming
Late game: Team fights are going mean a lot of poking for you. Keep your team buffed with Raise Morale, and poke with Parrrley any chance you get... it hurts. You are certainly capable of venturing into the jungle and grabbing the other team's buffs, as long as you have vision on them.
