Explanation
My choices are based on a bit (only a bit) of research through the various Vayne builds, some experience in what's needed, and a few tips on what to look out for. Some choices are a bit off-the-wall comparatively, but I'm trying to counteract the gameplay styles you'll see used.
Exhaust is a great fight starter or (like Cleanse) chase helper. It can weaken your enemies so they're easier to take on, or cause them to run away with both AI and many players being cowards). It also allows you to chase down enemies more easily, which is something Vayne's meant to be good at.
The boots are first, because Vayne doesn't have terribly great early-game speed. They also help out that wonderful attack speed.
Then comes The Bloodthirster, with priority towards the scepter. The lifesteal is very important if you want to stay alive as Vayne. Vayne is an extremely squishy champion, but the life-steal cycling through can keep you alive much longer than one would expect, due to Vayne's damage output.
The Black Cleaver's next, adding a hefty boost to speed and damage. This is a turning point, typically, if you've been having a merely mediocre game. The Black Cleaver allows Vayne to build up her Silver Bolts much faster, as well, heavily increasing potential damage.
After that is Banshee's Veil, useful mostly to counter the un-godly amount of slows, stuns, taunts, etc. that you'll see in-game.
After that, is Trinity Force. It has a large amount of highly useful buffs, along with yet more ability to chase down your enemies, which is an ability Vayne can't get too much of.
Then is Infinity Edge, useful for boosting critical hits. And you should've worn by now, unless you're deep in a heated PvP or Intermediate AI match.
I went with a 21/0/9 build, as recommended and often seen in Vayne builds, and here we go into the description of the choices (hold onto your brains...).
First, is Butcher. It gives Vayne a bit of a boost for farming, which can be a chore early game. Then I grab Brute Force, as more damage on a high damage champion is always good. Alacrity is next, to give better speed for Silver Bolts. Then is Weapon Expertise, to help cut down tanks. Next is Deadliness and Lethality, to make the hits count. Vampirism's next, to help postpone those Recalls as long as possible. Then Sunder and Executioner, to make Vayne even more deadly.
Then, I grab Utility. Expanded Mind is useful, as it allows you to keep Vayne's skills in use. Good Hands allows you to get back in the fray faster, but is more of a filler to get to the next tier of mastery points. Then, Meditation for mana regen and Swiftness for more speed.
Vayne will kill-steal. It's simply how an efficient Vayne will play. Either get over your desire to claim kills in a team fight, or pick a different lane.
Vayne can play a very effective low health game, in the right hands. Don't worry about Vayne hanging out in a lane with only five health... it'll be back soon. All you'll do is distract Vayne, and potentially get them killed trying to tell you that they know what they're doing.
Also, Vayne can turret dive. Vayne, if built right, is a highly mobile champion. She will only get hit a few times in a turret dive, so let Vayne go for the turret dive.
