Draven is a very strong AD carry with a high skill cap. According to Crs Cop, the AD carry for the proffesional team Curse, Draven may have the highest skill cap of any AD carry in the game. Draven is very easy to understand and learn, but very difficult to master.

Starting Items
Boots of Speed
Health Potion
Boots of Speed and 3 Health Potions is a fairly standard start for almost every champion. Getting the boots early will allow you to escape any potential ganks, and having the potions means you will be able to sustain in lane much longer then if you were to buy any other starting items.
Or
Doran's Blade
Doran's Blade is a better choice if you have a high sustain support such as Soraka, Alistar, or Sona. This will allow you to lane more aggressively and possibly get first blood.
Core Items

Vampiric Scepter
Infinity Edge
Phantom Dancer
Picking up the double Doran's Blades is never a bad idea for any AD carry. This will give you 6% lifesteal, 160 HP, and 20 extra damage.
Berserkers Greave's are almost always a must for AD carries, the only situation where I would change this item would be to Ninja Tabi against a fed AD champ, or Mercuries Treads against a fed AP champ.
Vampiric Sceptor is a key item for sustaining yourself until you can make your first major purchase, Infinity Edge. Lifesteal synergises especially well with draven, as his spinning axes are a damage modifier for his auto attacks, and as such will proc lifesteal affects. Basically, a spinning axe will heal you for twice the amount a normal auto attack would. Combine this with bloodthirst, and Draven can quickly return to full health with just the vampiric sceptor
Infinity Edge is your main source of damage, and coupled with Draven's passive, can quickly kill squishier targets. No AD carry should pass up this item.
Phantom Dancer synergises extremely well with both your Infinity Edge, your passive, and your vampiric sceptor. More auto attacks means more critical strikes, which will proc your passive, and more life stolen through vampiric sceptor.
