You may remember a while back that I posted a conceptual nasus build that I saw in a game.
It was: Frozen Mallet Trinity Force Hextech Gunblade Guinsoo's Rageblade Last Whisper Mercury's Treads

I have since adapted it to a hard carry build.

I ditched the Last Whisper. I realized that, in Spirit Fire this item becomes less effective. That sort of anti-synergy is unacceptable. I also got rid of the Frozen Mallet because A) I don't like the item for a myriad of reasons and B) I already have Trinity Force and Wither. It's unnecessary.

Here it is now:
Hextech Gunblade Guinsoo's Rageblade Trinity Force Mercury's Treads Black Cleaver Infinity Edge

Infinity Edge is there because when I realized that Siphoning Strike could also CRIT... Well I almost crit my pants(yuk yuk yuk). I felt this was a must. Also! This build shreds 116 armor(with standard carry masteries and runes) in Spirit Fire after 3 hits. In other words, for anyone not stacking a decent amount of armor: you'll be dealing true damage. Ouch!

I'm not extremely satisfied with it; it hasn't been play-tested all that much, and I never like making a build that's just totally balls-out offense, but with Nasus' skillset(particularly his ultimate Fury of the Sands) I think it can work. I also don't like how it doesn't seem all that original to me, so I'm considering adding in Youmuu's Ghostblade or something nice like that.

I don't care about my rep, but you can +rep if you want to.

Bad build.
Siphoning Strike can't crit. The basic attack part of it can crit, but NOT THE DAMAGE FROM THE ABILITY.

I'd say that even if you build him as a hard carry he needs a defensive item.
If not he will wipe rather fast when out of his ult ^^

The AP you have is a waste. As others said, the best way to build Nasus is Aegis+Triforce, then build tanky. DPS Nasus dies very quickly.

The reasoning behind this is that Nasus can still do a ton of damage just based on his Q alone, so by building tanky, you're contributing more to teamfights.

Agreeing with... pretty much everyone here. If you play DPS Nasus, you ate going to die really fast. It's also a 50/50 chance of working. If you do well early, you will get all your items. If you don't, you don't and you're not an asset to the team.
