^Okay, but here are the changes i'd suggest:
SS->PD
Randuin's -> Warmog's
I might disagree with SS. Vayne is about single target take-down, and nothing does that better than PD.
I'm not as upset with randiuns vs warmogs, though. You'll need to stack some armor if your heart's set on top lane

uhhhhhh idk about anyone else but I was playing Vayne as an offtank way back in s2 when she first came out.
Duff was probably the first person to run it successfully though, and I mainly took tips from his guide here when she first came out back in league of bruisers.

Shiv+Warmogs+Cleaver
Thank you jhoijhoi, Keondre, LaCorpse, The_Nameless_Bard, Arcana3, Apfeljack, Hogopogo, eddie199, Xiaowiriamu, and JEFFY40HANDS for the spectacular sigs!
I don't feel like shiv is a better option than PD though. If I want to go the pure as-option I will go pd.
If you for some reason want to follow my ranked journey to gold, you can do it Here.
I am against asking for rep, only rep me if you think I contributed well or said something wise.

I guess you could go attackspeed/Blade of ruined king and max your silver bolts, you could go kinda offtanky with a black cleaver to make your actual carry do more damage, trinity force is also a option for sheen proc i guess.
Never played it just some suggestions.

top lane vayne is quite strong and wasn't really effected by any of the nerfs they gave her, she's arguably even stronger with the many buffs that were given to bruisers and the nerf to mr/armor. I'd even go so far as to say she's secretly op in season 3. The only people with leaps who really counter her because of that are Khazix, Akali, Jax once he builds phage and possibly Xin.
optimal items would be botrk, gauntlet, bulwark, warmogs, wit's and possibly muramana.
right below optimal but above good is tbc
good items would be triforce, frozen heart, frozen mallet, guardian angel, muramana (this is where it is right now, good but not optimal since i haven't tested it) wriggles, zeke's, banshee's veil
really niche items, bt, ie, pd, shiv, zephyr, lw, maw of malmortius (hexdrinker is good if you sell it) (all of these there are either better options or should only be built when your carry isn't building like a carry or something and you have no one else to do tons of damage. Vayne already does tons of damage with just botrk and gauntlet.)
you want to focus on cdr, attack speed, mr, armor and hp.
the only core items i would say on her is botrk and gauntlet, warmogs is pretty damn close to core though.
I would prefer this build. If you want to play Vayne like a top lane bruiser, build her like that. But the next changes which are now at PBE would pretty much destroy Iceborn Gauntlet for her. Muramana could really bring the pain to the enemy. I am also unsure about Wit's End, I would rather get Phantom Dancer or Trinity Force instead. Wit's End is since the S3 nerf no longer that great.
He is gonna kill you!!!

Vayne as a solo-top is a very situational pick and you're usually aiming for late-game. Do note that you have Tumble and Condemn for disengage mechanisms against gap-closing champions.
Mercury's Treads or Ninja Tabi or berzerker's greaves depending on your needs
Statikk Shiv - the passive does 100 magic damage and can crit, so it's good against bruisers who stack armor and as an adc. It also gives you some other stats that are similar to Phantom Dancer like movement speed, attack speed, and crit, which Vayne uses. Vayne doesn't have high base stats, so this is a must, mainly because of the magic damage that can crit.
From here some survivability is necessary if you are fulfilling your role as a proper tanky-dps.
I recommend Randuin's Omen or Banshee's Veil, depending on their team compositino (mostly AD/AP, poke or not, etc.)
Bloodthirster - survivability and damage in one package. Also gives you an excuse to farm or alternatively, Blade of the Ruined King for high health stacking teams. Wriggle's Lantern is also acceptable if you're against a Riven or Xin Zhao lane.
Guardian Angel - game breaking because you get a second shot at life and gives you some nice resistances
Infinity Edge - obvious reasons. You can rush this, but note that you'll be squishy as hell and that you aren't the main carry on the team unless you choose to.
