Some champions benefit from having Void Staff AND Abyssal Mask. But I guess I'd have to graph to see which ones they are as I don't have any generalized facts about that yet.
I think the builds are pretty good, but I'd probably go for a FoN over BV on any durable champion. You're better off mitigating extra damage than blocking a spell that doesn't do all that much damage anyway.
Here's my cookie-cutter build for tanky DPS:
Some good boots
Frozen Mallet
Atma's Impaler
Force of Nature OR Banshee's Veil (FoN is often the best choice)
Sunfire Aegis
The order in which I usually buy things varies.

Only on some ranged DPS. Like Kog'Maw and Teemo.

Add Youmuu's to this and you are pretty set.
I don't think you should throw out 'complete' builds that one can't go wrong with. I fully support making a list of items for certain roles that one can't go wrong with though.
EDIT: Well, technically that's what you are doing either way. :P

Tank:
- Doran's Shield
- Boots
- Mercury's Treads
- Aegis of the Legion
- Banshee's Veil
- Sunfire Aegis
- Guardian Angel
The tank build is the most versatile, as you need to be able to adapt. For example, if they're primarily physical, skip the Banshee's Veil for a later time and rush a Sunfire Cape or even a Thornmail. Contrarily, if they have mostly magic damage, get Banshee's Veil or even a Force of Nature.
Ranged AD Carry
- Boots+3 Health Potion OR Doran's Blade OR Doran's Shield
- B. F. Sword
- Mercury's Treads OR Berserker's Greaves (for early game DPS, always sell this for Merc Treads later)
- Infinity Edge
- Zeal
- Banshee's Veil
- Last Whisper
- Phantom Dancer
Ranged AP Carry
- Doran's Ring
- Boots
- Catalyst the Protector
- Sorcerer's Shoes
- Rabadon's Deathcap
- Banshee's Veil
- Void Staff OR Abyssal Mask
- Zhonya's Hourglass
ALTERNATIVELY:
- Doran's Ring
- Boots
- Tear of the Goddess
- Catalyst the Protector
- Sorcerer's Shoes
- Rod of Ages
- Archangel's Staff
- Rabadon's Deathcap
- Banshee's Veil
- Zhonya's Hourglass
Anyone else have suggestions? Maybe one for tanky DPS, one for support, etc? I know it usually varies by character, but for maybe 80% of the champions in a certain category, there are staple builds that are usually very good on them.
