Electrocute is a great damage keystone choice for Azir as you're able to easily proc for bonus lane poke damage with a [Q] and a few autos.
Taste of Blood's bonus healing plays a huge role in empowering your ability to lane aggressively and trade without having to recall constantly.
Ghost Poro's bonus stats and vision are great for snowballing leads where you are able to stay on the aggressive.
Ravenous Hunter further empowers your ability to trade aggressively in lane and sustain during late-game teamfights with your massive damage scaling.
Azir likes to opt for big AP items so the extra CDR from Transcendence goes a long way for keeping your [Q] off cooldown for mid-game fights.
Azir is all about that late-game scaling and Gathering Storm doubles down on your ability to carry in 30+ min games.
