I prefer to play him with 18/0/12 using deathfire touch. I use hybrid pen red, armor yellow, scaling mr blue, and attack speed quints.
Start and max Q first, max w second if against someone with CC and E second if against someone lacking CC. Play really passively until you get your ult just last hitting with your Q which will actually heal you with the 8% bonus healing from runic armor. Mundo isn't much of a team fighter unless he is fed so you should mostly just focus on pushing lanes and trying to draw attention to yourself in a similar way as Singed.
For items, mostly just get tank items. Some items you can get to do insane amounts of damage with your Q are Liandry's and sorc boots though. My typical build on him is 
and one of 
depending on what is needed more that game.
Something to remember is that while his W drains his health, it also provides him with tenacity. While running away from people with low health it may be good to turn it on for the reduced cc effect even if it isn't burning anyone.
Here are some example games.
This was a normal game where I built full tank and split pushed. http://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/NA1/2518457457/209287161?tab=overview
This game I felt I needed some good %hp damage for Nunu and Tahm so I built offensively and grouped. We lost but I still dealt a lot of damage with the build. http://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/NA1/2518521366/209287161?tab=stats
top or jungle?
Only pick him into AP champs or pray the enemy forgets that Executioner's Calling exists.
Play safe early and cs with cleaver. Sunfire and Spirit Visage are core. After that you generally build tank items depending on what you need. Abyssal or Titanic is good for damage; zz'rot to push in towers in side lanes; Dead Man's for mobility; Randuin's, Thornmail, or Adaptive helm for specific carries that are becoming problematic.
Spam Q on targets to stick to them so your Funfire + W + autos (with E) can kill them.
Mundo's not really great at split pushing deep because he has no dashes, but he can and should push out side lanes since Sunfire + W does it very quickly and he's most likely less vulnerable than a mage or adc, especially if his ult is up.
Been playing alot of mundo lately, and this is how i build him
AS reds/Scaling hp yellows/MR blues/1 AS+2 movement quints.
0/12/18
Q>E>Q>W, Q>E>W max, but at 8 go W instead of E so yuo farm a bit easier.
i play jungle and start red buff and ask for a strong leash. Kite the mob in between hits/clevers and kill it. Kill wolves, Q big wolf auto+e+a the small wolves down, throwing a clever at the big one on cd. Kill blue and smite it but not till the end, kill gromp. From here either invade or kill the scuttle. Depedning on where the scuttle ends up when you killed it you may be able to invade vs some slower junglers. You'll still have smite, and can win duels with his Q and E.
now im a terrible junglers, so i farm and only gank if the oppurtunty is there when im at the camp by that lane. I'l rarely run across the map or run to that side if no camp is there unless they're pushed way in.
Prioritize farming you need to get tank stats. A fed/even mundo can be a big threat, but a behind mundo is almost worthless most of the game.
for a build i do machete+3pots>ruby crystal+cloth armor+boots+Refillable potion (optional), giants belt/boots upgrade, boots/giants belt, giants belt (a 2nd one), then i build spirit visage, warmogs, deadmans plate, in no particular order, but I may get kindlegems for the 10% cdr, and blue/red smite somewhere in there early, color depending on team comps.
Lastly get a phantom dancer if you wanna have fun ;). Get it early
Ah, just read about you mostly playing TT. Makes my advice less useful. I played a lot of the old TT before the capture points and spider boss lady thing. Don't know much about "new" one.
Except, yeh, still, you should be able to 2v1 well and just..keep them occupied. Just remember if 2 are wasting their time on you, they aren't gaining much, and they're leaving the rest of their map open for allies to do things.
