Mystic Reverb
Most efficient damage wise, buy spirit burn after unstop/expansion if you pick this

Superior Cooldown
Built from Compress Cooldown
Better teamfight, more everything
Can replace your gun spike late, good shred and anti-heal
Indomitable
If they have big single target ults and are trying to pick you early in fights this has value
Siphon Bullets
Good anti-tank and survivability but less important than a lot of other items
Divine Barrier
This item doesn't fit the build well, but its just so worth it if you aren't getting value, cleanse shit save teammates, The Lash Does It Again
Arctic Blast
Built from Cold Front
Just no.
Infuser
I mean... why would you? What are you? Just not a good item for The Lash really
Cheat Death
Buy if game goes past 45 minutes
Metal Skin
If you are getting dumpstered pop this before slam
Dispel Magic
Into Infernus, Shiv, Haze etc.
Warp Stone
Anti-gun and movement, replace maj leap/spirit shield most likely
