I do not understand why you would get great cleave early, there is no mention of why you would forsake free armor early for it. Also it is a wall of text will no color. You have a friends page but no foes. Maybe you could list heros that Sven does do poorly vs. Armlet is Helpful on most strength heros and Sven is no exception hitting all enemy heros for tons of damage is always nice.

1) Take Warcry lvl 1 early like lvl 2. +12%MS for 25 mana is worth the investment. On top of that +3 armor is really nice against lvl 1 harass.
2) Take Great Cleave later. You will need the MS from Warcry and the mana/str from stats. I'd advise to take 1-2. And honestly you don't need to push at lvl 2 and your cleave will do it whether you like it or not. It will even play against you.
3) Use God's Strength wisely and take it only if
-> You are the carry and need farm
-> You want to push at lvl 6
If not, save your mana for your awesome Storm Hammer and take some other skills. God's Strength is expensive and early on, the skill is not easily profitable.
4) Add dagger in situational items. As not only it will make initiation/gap closing easier, but it will also save you from ganks.
5) There should be some analysis about items and skill usage.
6) I disagree with item choices. Sven in early relies heavily on his Storm Hammer and ability to farm. Clarity or Quelling Blade as well as a Stout Shield should be somewhere as they make farm much safer and easy. I would not underestimate mana/health regen.
7) There should be a part about your laning partner. Your part is nice but should be more in depth like "What if my partner goes full ward no aura" then you should probably get a ring a basilus as it's awesome for your mana and give you a great push threat in mid game (Getting creeps with +5 armor at lvl 5... towers will never be able to kill them).

Good work though. Didn't upvote or downvote.
