How to play
You start with Guardian's Horn. Your #1 rush should be item that counters enemy team most (MR or Armor item). Get Jak'Sho as #2 item. Then adapt.
Triumph is better overall (heal + gold), but if you want to have easier time with your mana, go Presence of the Mind.
Guardian's Horn is a surprisingly good item for its price. You can keep it for very long time (or even have it as 6th item).
You need to adapt your items to the game. Enemy team heavy on AP? Buy MR. They heavy on AD? Buy Armor. You need some damage? Well buy that.
Be careful to not waste Aftershock. Try timing it and keeping it for going in.
As Jax playing Tank, your skill order depends on a situation. In general, max Empower (W) for damage. Against ranged or for reach, max Leap Strike (Q). Against heavy melee or lots of auto attackers, max Counter Strike (E).
Tips and Tricks
Riot
Jax can Leap Strike to friendly units, including wards. You can use them to plan your escape.
Jax benefits greatly from items that have both Ability Power and Attack Damage such as Guinsoo's Rageblade and Hextech Gunblade.
