Don't listen to them, Kirby's items suck and stun+crit is by far the best way to skill SK. You should add refresher orb and rapier in your items though.
This is a decent guide. Your item build covers the majority* of items that would benefit your average SK; my only real nitpick there is your lack of starting Branches/Magic Wand later. Magic Wand + Soul Ring go very well together (practically unlimited Mana for Hellfire Blast/Reincarnation) and even grant SK a strong degree of safety versus Antimage and the like (potential 300+ burst Mana regen on demand).
Also even though this build is aimed towards newer players, I still no reason not to recommend this skill build over the one you currently have listed: Q/Stats/Q/Stats/Q/R/Q/W/E/E/R/E/E/W/W/R/W
Stats are preferable to Critical Strike or Vampiric Aura at early levels for the HP/Mana boost for increased lane presence. Neither Critical Strike (which provides, without items, a minor DPS boost) or Vampiric Aura (passively pushes your lane) are worth taking before Level 8.
* Other potentially effective, unmentioned items possibly worth a blurb include Quelling Blade, Urn of Shadows, Drum of Endurance, Desolator and vintage pub equipment like Basher/S&Y.
