I haven't played Doom very much but I'm certainly going to start. Still a little bit confused what people think of the build...
Does it matter whether you are on the dire or radiant side?
Not at all. I personally prefer Dire because of the camp positioning, but that has nothing to do with effectiveness and is just me preferring the layout. Radiant is probably easier to gank your safelane but Dire works just as well.
Item build has changed a *lot*. Earlier comments may no longer be valid. That said, I don't have Shadowblade in the build, which a lot of pro players get (Dendi does, in pubs as Doom). I don't like the ganking build because sentries make it a waste of 3k.

Vanguard on doom is pretty bad IMO, getting a drum or a mekansm would be a better replacement.
I hadn't even thought of those two. It's actually not a bad idea, and solves your mana problems earlier than Rod or Blade Mail. I'll add them in to situational items.
I'm up for improving this, and my first point of call is items. Does anyone know how I can add in the 'starting items, early game, core, situational' subsections like you see in the in-game item shop? It might be a bit clearer with that.
Go into your build, above where your Items are, there should be a box that says "PO #1". Beneath that is a Text Box labelled "Po Name", this is where you put Titles such as "Starting Items. Next to "PO #1" is a "+" Button, this will allow you to add another group, which you can call "Early Game", etc.
P.S. When updating the guide, remember to hit "Publish" after saving to update the version of the guide that we can see ;{)
Radiance and Vanguard is just so you don't have to throw away your Stout Shield after you're done in the jungle. Maybe it's not effective; it's just me being obsessive. I'm odd like that.
As to the lack of armour, the Ring of Basilius gives three; while not a lot, it still helps early game. If you're facing a team of right-clickers, I recommended getting Blade Mail very quickly. Against a team of nukers and the like, armour won't do much anyway, so that's my logic to leaving it out.
LVL? Death is left until level 10 not just for mana but for effectiveness. As it is a percentage-based effect, it's much better late- than early-mid game. Since you're jungling until mid game, you won't miss the nuke very much.

First, I like the fact that you don't get LVL? Death before level 10:
