Advice on Jungle build and tactics

Hi,

I am not the kind of player who goes into a match spamming mid, top, jg, adc or supp. I prefer to get everyone on something they are comfortable with and then kind of learn what ever role I am left with. Recently I have had to play a lot of games as the jungle. Now some have been good others rough but in general early on I think me and my team usually will be ahead.

For my jungles I used some RP to buy maoki (after reading his abilities) and Dr. mundo (my first champion I ever bought :D)

For mundo my build usually looks like

Vs Heavy Attack Damage item 3207 -->item 3047 -->item 3083 -->item 3068 -->item 2049 Vs Heavy Magic Damage item 3207 -->item 3047 -->item 3065 -->item 3083 -->item 2049

However when I get to this point if our team is trying to finish or if its a stalemate I'll try to grab item 3151 but I was looking at item 3190 Which is 100 gold cheaper and it has a pretty neat effect, I was wondering if there is ever a time where either of those can be more useful than some other obvious tank items likeitem 3143 item 3075

For Maoki I have yet to be successful in the jungle I build

item 3207 -->item 3047 -->item 3065--->item 2049 -->item 3110

After that I kinda draw a blank, I know that I can do damage again with like a item 3151 but ive been debating maybe picking up item 3157 ...or do I need to go more tanky?

Maoki really confuses me if I am being honest when I build him like a full tank I dont really feel as strong as when I am on mundo, but I certainly feel more mobile like I can lock down certain people.

Maoki I think I gank really early like right after my red buff i try with my W to get something in any lane, I definately dont feel like i can just run around their jungle like I do with mundo.

Any tips advice?

I'm sorta out of the loop with Mao jungle, but I know RoA is popular on him up top. He obviously doesn't need that in the jungle- what with blue buff and all- but something like that might work. Personally I love the combo of Sunfire Cape and Abyssal Scepter- gives you some off-tankage while still dealing surprisingly good damage with them- with Abyssal increasing Sunfire's damage and all. Abyssal is also good on its own, especially if you're heavier on AP- it works well with Ryze.

Other than that, you have the options of Rylai's or Iceborn Gauntlet. Either could replace that Frozen Heart while not having you miss too much from it.
