Yo man if you dont mind me asking whats ur play style for jungle Maokai as am really finding it hard to get a good build with him atm, the jungle clear times are really slow, and he seems to lack damage no matter what i do to try and buff it up (minus going full AP). So yeah how u play him in the jungle mate?
I run my normal jungle rune page (cuz I have like no runes or rune pages so I can only have 1 :P).
Attack Speed Marks
Armor Seals
Magic Resist Per Level Glyphs
AD Quints
AD Quints should be movement % quints but I'm too lazy to buy.
Masteries - 9/21/0 - jungle defense
Start Hunter's Machete + 5 Pots.
Boots + Spirit Stone on first back.
Mobility Boots/ Ninja Tabi ----> Spirit of the Ancient Golem ----> Sunfire Aegis ----> Spirit Visage.
Usually, that's as far as I get. Frozen Heart, Randuin's Omen, Shurelya's Battlesong.
Locket of the Iron Solari if your support doesn't grab it. Thornmail for heavy AD comps.
That's usually my most common build for Maokai, he's meant as a tank not for damage :P
Thanks to YayaFTW for the sig.

Preseason Game 1
First game of the Preseason and i get to mid ^^. So i thought i would pick a ok champ and went with mid lane Talon against there mid lane Lux.
Ended up going very well for the first part of the game, i was able to get a nice 6-2 lead over Lux and got first blood + first tower, after which i started roaming the map and ganking were i could.....however then everything fell though the damn floor as our Nasus went afk and didnt come back and Jax started lagging badly meaning his ok score of 5-3 quickly turned into a 5-9 feeding fest =/.
Am surpised we lasted as long as we did to be fair...we were over 30 minutes as a 4v5 game and held the other team well, i was able to pretty much shut down there Lux, Sivir and after a few hits there Shen without a problem, even there Kha'Zix was finding it hard to go up against me without suffering badly for it. The only real problem i had was there Pantheon who got fed like **** off Jax and as soon as he got his GA became a beast to kill..
But hey overall it was a good fun game, and at one point we even came close to winning it after we scored a 4v2 win at the baron and pushed down there base mid lane and got there inhib and last tower before the center crystal towers before being forced back by there Pantheon.
the builds in that game make my eyes bleed

Cheers for the info 1jamie50, i believe i see where iv been going wrong here (trying to fit in damage where really i should be more focusing on tank building). Also the Masteries am using are a bit off then lol.
At least i got the basic build right ! (iv been aiming for a build like this:
- Spirit of Ancient Golem
- Mobility Boots (green stone upgrade)
- Iceborn Gauntlet
- Sunfire Aegis
- Abyssal Mask
-Either a Rabadon's Deathcap, Rylai's Crystal Scepter or Guardian Angel.

Doesn't look that bad, Abyssal is decent for Maokai, usually late.
Don't recommend Rabadon's Deathcap since you mainly want to tank.
Maokai doesn't really need AP. The last time I played Maokai a few days ago, I threw a sapling on-top of Ziggs and he lost 1/5th of his HP.
He really does a pretty considerable amount of damage without AP items.

Only get Abyssal Mask if your team has a lot of magic damage. Otherwise get Spirit Visage. The CDR is simply too valuable.
Rylai's Crystal Scepter isn't really amazing. The slow isn't really strong since 3/4 of your skills are AoE, one of them already has a slow, and one of them is a snare that lasts just as long as the slow.

I agree with posts above. As Maokai you need to concentrate on tank items not AP since you will be the one who on the front line to take most damage from enemy team. You can finished your build with items like Iceborn Gauntlet or Rylai's Crystal Scepter but do not look at it like your primary items.
