These are what I usually start with, the movement speed is essential most of the time at the start.
Magic Shoes
Lost Artifact
Sometimes it pays off the be greedy, if you start this go straight for Book of Thoth.
Book of Souls
These are my preferred first buy, the mana and cooldown is so helpful with early game pressure and spell costs.
Shoes of Focus
The Polynomicom adds so much extra burst to your build. Ideally this is my first real item, after blue boots. Chronos is the second must buy as it helps with ult cooldown and over all cooldown reduction.
Polynomicon
Chronos' Pendant
Shoes of Focus
Polynomicon
Chronos' Pendant
Divine Ruin
Spear of Desolation
Shaman's Ring
Shoes of the Magi
Polynomicon
Spear of Desolation
Chronos' Pendant
Soul Gem
Rod of Tahuti
These items are good to help round out the build at the end, after you get Poly and Chronos
Doom Orb
Obsidian Shard
Book of Thoth
Book of the Dead
Soul Reaver
I usually go beads and shell, but wings can be very useful in catching people who have leaps. Aegis is always an option, but I find it to be a much more selfish option as it only helps yourself.
Purification Beads
Magic Shell
Heavenly Wings
Aegis Amulet
Blink Rune

This build has netted me a lot of success in arena. I've been playing The Morrigan non-stop for the last few days, and I consistently do well.
The early game is rough, you are extremely squishy and have long cooldowns. Play a little passively, and spam your 2. Try to not decoy aggressively as it has a long cooldown and is your only escape.
Mid game is where you start to take off. Once you get Poly you can start chunking the squishies for 2/3's of their hp with your 3-1-2-auto combo. Try to not be the first in, unless you can sneak around and jump the back line.
Late game, you can pretty often burst down most squishy characters. Your ult will have a short enough cooldown you should be able to use it every fight. Try to vary up who you pick fairly often as it does get predictable if you always copy the Ares or Posiden.

If tanks are a problem/are present then swap soul gem for obsidian. Could probably get a Penta with this build, especially if there is a Thanatos in the match with a half decent build.
Also since im building Chronos' and Deso early I would level the ult much later in the build, as the CDR takes off large chunks of the lengthy cooldown. I would instead prioritise 2 > 1 > 3 > 4.
Book of thoth is pointless for her in arena, don't waste your time building it.
Doom Orb is overpriced, do not build it on her.
Shaman's Ring is meh on Morrigan, not awful but meh.
Your "slightly greedier" build is trash, you build a stacking item and then 3 LUXURY items in a row, and your build has no pen?
Don't build E-Staff or Iso on Morrigan please. Not for damage builds.
If you build
Only relics listed should be
The Start is fine though, I think
I agree about the reasoning behind leveling her ult later, but I would never prioritize her 3 instead of her ult. The order should be 2>1>4>3.
I also don’t see a problem with the listed relics. I’d probably always get Beads, but Aegis can be replaced for a more team-oriented relic.

Someone doesen't appreciate their
As a squishy mage? I don't think so.
You’re right. I don’t. I’d rather remove 20 seconds of my ult cooldown than gain 2.5% movement speed.
Also, I'm not a fan of
I'd also suggest that you remove
Besides the points I made, the build is solid. Just keep in mind you're at 40% CDR in your recommended build, and
Edit: Forgot to say, buy you might want to build penetration a bit earlier, so put
Magic Shoes + tiny trinket has also been a start for conquest mid. (On Janus, Agni, some others like Morri and Disco).
