Season 16 Support Builds

I'm pretty new to Pantheon, and I have been trying to get an idea of what good builds are out there. But, coming from a burst mage background where itemization is all about damage, I have been feeling a little overwhelmed with the new items and the diversity of build paths you can do with this champ.

I like to play the roaming support playstyle, where I am all over the map. I don't mind setting my team up by just holding enemies still, but I prefer to have some good damage so I have a bit more agency.

So far some general build paths that I have seen recommended are:

Bruiser: Swifties -> Black Cleaver/Sundered Sky (both items but order depends on matchup) -> Deaths Dance -> randuins or maw (depending on damage threat)

This one seems the most consistent over a large amount of games due to the mixture of damage and survivability.

Lethality/Squishy Build:

CDR boots -> Ghostblade -> other lethality item depending on game state -> collector -> lord dom or mortal reminder -> infinity edge

This seems like a more high risk/high reward build. I've tried this and the damage buffs are nice, but it's a lot easier to get killed.

The last build I have seen, but haven't tried is:

CDR Boots -> Eclipse -> BORK -> lord dom -> deaths dance -> ghostblade if squishy or cleaver if tanky

What is this build for? Is this kind of like the lethality build but for tankier enemy comps? Or is this build a little outdated, since it looks like eclipse isn't great on pantheon nowadays?

Again, I'm new to these items and champ so I don't know too much of what I am talking about. But these are builds I have seen recommended.
