I start off the game with a Doran's Shield for the health regeneration. Also early game Yorick tends to be very squishy, so this helps him lane longer by reducing damage taken and increasing how fast he gains health. Normally I don't go back to the shop until I can buy Tear of Goddess, but if your facing some ranged opponents and you have low health it would be best for you to go back and just buy a Meki Pendant. Your goal is to rush Manamune. Manamune works well with Yorick because he uses mana up fast early - mid game, and he uses his spells often. Every few spells your attack damage goes up 1-2...this stacks nicely with a full game. Next I grab Mercury Treads for the Tenacity they have. This will help you out a lot, because a stunned Yorick is usually a dead Yorick. Now personally I don't go back to the nexus again after I grab Mercury Treads until I have enough for Warmog's, but it might help if you go back and grab a Giant's Belt before hand. After this I grab some part of Atma's or the entire thing when ever I go back to heal. Atma's should be the last attack item you get. Manamune and Atma's should give you somewhere between 230-260 attack damage, this is MORE than enough. Depending on how many ap champions you are fighting the last two items of the build are situational. I like to grab Spirit Visage no matter what because it really synergizes well with Yorick's e spell, and it adds some health and magic resistance. Now Force of Nature is always an all around good item to get, but if you are being stunned or snared or silenced often then grab a Banshee's Veil. Yorick will die FAST if he can't attack. As stated in the title this is an off-tank Yorick build, so if you have any questions as to what to get for a full dps build, then feel free to leave a comment.
