Introduction
We don't talk about that here, yet though. ;)
Greater Mark of Desolation
I only added 3 Greater Seals of Resilience because he does need it but I wanted to have more attack damage. You can have 9 if you need to, it's just a suggestion. Whatever works for you is best. Also, having some cooldown reduction can be useful as well.
(22 seconds till I can pull again?)
9 Greater Mark of Desolation This is for armor penetration. Making it a bit easier to kill someone.
3
Greater Seal of Armor Just a little bit of armor will do fine. This is what I use but if you want, you could always use 9 of these instead of three.
6
Greater Seal of Attack Damage A little bit more extra damage early game.
9
Greater Glyph of Magic Resist To have some protection against AP users.
3 Greater Quint of Strenth Same as the Seal of Strength, for the extra damage early game. It may not be much but it will help out.

Whenever you're going to build your second Bloodthirster be sure to sell the Wriggles Lantern.

If you are in need of some magic resist, I would suggest replacing

Here are some of the summoner spells I suggest:
Ignite It helps with your bleed, in case their health doesn't go down as far as you want it to
Exhaust To slow your enemy, his Crippling Strike doesn't last as long but still useful
Flash To catch up to your enemy that is getting away
Ghost To get through the minions of course and to catch up
Teleport I suggest this because sometimes the enemy might try to get to your Turret once they realize your gone and its "safe" so this can be useful

NOW! You can counter him.
I know a lot of people wonder how to counter, but its really simple. To counter him is to have someone who can snare/stun. OR! Someone who can slow like
Ashe. If he can't get the kills he needs he won't be able to build up his power. So, snare/stun (or even slow) - Gank him with at least 3 people (or the whole team if you prefer). He can't really take on that many people unless depending on the build. Also having
Jarvan IV and
Wukong in the same lane against
Darius will give him a hard time as well. Making it harder for him to get the kills he needs to get bigger.
Point is, if hes big, FOCUS. If its early game, dont let him feed! Any snare/stun will do.

If you have any suggestions or if I should make any changes that you think seem fit please feel free to share. Also, it's good to have a champion with you that can harass or be the bait for you to get the kill. Someone like
Katarina or someone who can stun for just a few seconds like
Riven.
Varus and
Jarvan IV are also good match ups with Darius.
