Shoes of the Magi
Chronos' Pendant
Soul Gem
Spear of Desolation
Rod of Tahuti
Chronos' Pendant is so strong on Janus, and I rarely have a game where 
Divine Ruin isn't a valuable pick up. Gem of Focus however I find it's better to build to a god's strengths, and in my opinion Janus' biggest strengths is his ability to be incredibly difficult to lock down due to his kit.In my opinion, the first 4 items are core, Chronos' Pendant is so strong on Janus, and I rarely have a game where Divine Ruin isn't a valuable pick up.
Spear of Deso is fantastic also; you can ult into a fight, pick up a few assists and then immediately ult to the Fire giant / Gold fury.
I know most people are building Archmages gem over Gem of Focus however I find it's better to build to a god's strengths, and in my opinion Janus' biggest strengths is his ability to be incredibly difficult to lock down due to his kit.
As for the build order: naturally things can be changed around, if you need to rush anti heal then get divine after boots, if you need more % pen then get Shard earlier in the build, it's all situational, but I don't need to tell you that :)

Winged blade might seem weird, but alot of the Meta picks at the moment have heavy slows in their kit, Janus' Kryptonite, so in a situation where you're playing Vs a Set or a Nemesis etc. And your support isn't doing a great job of peeling, then this will save your life, you might lose out on a lot of power in your build but it's always better to be alive and free casting, than Dead... You aren't doing any damage when you're dead right?
Soul Gem
Soul Reaver
Doom Orb
Charon's Coin
