Alright, let me start off by saying this section has no strategy! If you want to get right to that then go ahead and skip to the next section Pros&Cons!!
For those who care... This is my first guide ever on anything. I just felt that the majority of Sobek guides seemed to focus on play styles that didn't really suit me so I thought I'd share mine. Also not many of his guides are not up to date with the current patches! Also you may notice some similarities between this and another Sobek guide by JELLYz titled Sobek - Charge to win! I very much liked the layout of their guide and I also started playing Sobek using this build guide. I would also strongly suggest checking it out here on SmiteFire by clicking the that guide's title as a link, because their guide uses a different build. I do not believe, however, that their guide is up to date with current patches so do take note of that.
This guide is meant to be player friendly for both new and old players so I used wording both could understand. Also at times this guide may be a bit wordy because I have a lot of input to give, but I have tried to make it bearable. If you have any questions or criticism post a comment and I'll try to reply. And remember, by no means is this an absolute guide! It is simply a few of my favorite builds and how I use them.
As with anything try to adapt it to your particular playstyle and make it better! And most importantly HAVE FUN!! It is just a game try not to be discouraged if something doesnt work out
Pros:
Blessing of the Nile now gives up to +45 to physical power and +30 to defenses this allows for great early game
Sickening Strike reduces the target's healing by 50% Charge Prey now hits minions this makes it harder to escape/chase Charge Prey can leave you very vulnerable
Blessing of the Nile (Passive)
Charge Prey
Arachne uses 
Drain Life on an ally you can throw her off by aiming this at the ally she is on.
Tail Whip
Anubis's 
Plague of Locusts. Also much like the previous ability you can use this to knock Arachne off an ally while she is using Drain Life. Be sure to try and use this ability RIGHT AFTER Charge Prey to keep them from immidiately dashing/leaping away it also does a bit of extra damage and if you have Gem of Isolation it slows them even more further hindering their escape. But use caution with this ability because you can cause an ally to miss their skill shot.
Sickening Strike
Meditation because you can use it to keep your health up and sustain your lane in the early game, or it can also be used to heal while trying to escape a bad situation just be sure to hit as many enemies as possible. Its third use is probably my favorite and it also works best with Meditation, you use it on the enemy god/s as much as possible in an attempt to keep poking them and reduce their healing from Healing Potions, abilities, and their own HP5 so they can't lane as long. This use of the ability can also work well with 
Divine Ruin, if you are willing to substitute another item for it, as it provides additional healing to yourself and further reduces their healing especially if you used another ability before Sickening Strike.
Lurking in the Waters
Blessing of the Nile reduces the damage I take while submerged. The other great thing about this ability is that it regens your mana providing you further sustain. The slow from this ability works great for two reasons it allows allies to chase enemies more easily and it works well with other Area of Effect slows like 
Ymir's 
Shards of Ice as it will increse damage dealt and further hinder escape. Other great things about this ability is that as long as some of your minions are in a tower this ability's slow will not cause a tower to target you the slow will also stack with 
Creeping Curse and Gem of Isolation allowing your ally more time to attack. NOTE: ALL of Sobek's abilities work best with Creeping Curse and Gem of Isolation as the extra slows will keep them in your tower and ally's range for more time
Now a quick foreword on this Items chapter... I'll try my best to give reasoning and situations for the items/abilities that I, MYSELF, purchase. If you disagree then good for you, but no hate mail. Just build your Sobek better and if you do then great! Just be sure to make a guide about this great build of yours so I and other players can use it to get better.
Healing Potion
Breastplate of Valor Wall of Absolution instead.
Gem of Isolation Lurking In The Waters!! And these slows will REALLY help your ally get that last bit of damage in. I like to max it Third. If using slows is your thing really consider purchasing Creeping Curse as it will further increase these slows.
Gauntlet of thebes Ankh of the Golem as it increases your basic attack damage to help take down those towers.
Stone of Gaia
Wall of Absolution Void Stone, 
Rod of Tahuti, 
Hide of Leviathan, or Sovereignty.
Hide of the Nemean Lion Hide of the Nemean Lion to keep an enemy from getting their full lifesteal effects. I max this item Fourth. However, if you feel you have enough physical protection, but need more health and health regen consider picking up Gauntlet of Thebes instead.
Ankh of the Golem Gem of Isolation, Wall of Absolution, or Warlock's Sash
Sovereignty
Midgardian Mail is a good choice. My only problem with this is that it's an item that works best if you're running away which you shouldn't be doing much since you are a tank. With a build like this prepare to destroy towers and tank Fire Giant with ease
Stone of Gaia
Gem of Isolation
Void Stone
Aegis Amulet
Creeping Curse Lurking In The Waters very well, and can really help allies get kills after you throw an enemy to them with Charge Prey. Not only that, but it can help you and your allies to chase down fleeing enemies or even escape from chasing enemies
Hand of the Gods
WardIn this chapter I will provide a strategy on how to tank in each lane along with partners that lane well with Sobek.
One thing I would like to mention is that it is best to use Sobek when you have a friend you can verbally communicate with while you play so you can most effectively use Sobek without causing your lane partner to miss an ability.
Charge Prey and then use your Tail Whip to keep them there longer. Chances are either you and your lane partner will have a kill or your partner will get a double kill which is best. A fed physical carry is better than a fed tank. Meditation as you will need the sustainability. If you aren't careful Sobek can quickly fall behind a ranged god try to keep your health up wth Sickening Strike though try not to fall below half mana that way you can still get a kill if your enemies health is low enough. Charge Prey if you have enough health to get a kill. It is really important to just be patient and wait for an ally's help or for your enemy to mess up, because Sobek may have difficulty pushing. And MOST IMPORTANTLY watch your mini map and pay attention when left or right lane call a missing enemy as they could be coming to gank you!!! If you die an enemy could easily destroy your tower if they have help.
Tail Whip so they are forced to keep their distance, and if they are low on health throw them towards your ally with Charge Prey so they can grab a quick kill. Don't forget to use Tail Whip immidiately after Charge Prey
Ra
Solar Blessing as it both both heals Sobek and increases his defenses. Ra's 
Divine Light also puts a slow on the enemy which will hinder their escape
Cupid
Share The Love also restores Cupid's mana. Also Cupid's 
Heart Bomb can be used to stun an enemy Sobek has just thrown. And as if these weren't enough 
Fields Of Love add an additional slow if used with Lurking In The Waters and combined, the two will do massive damage
Anhur
Impale them to a wall stunning them. This can be very hard to pull off however unless both players are prepared. Anhur can also take advantage of the slow from Lurking In The Waters to stun an enemy and keep them inside Sobek's Area of Effect
In team fights it is important to do three things. First, try and remove a weaker enemy god from their team with Charge Prey and throw them to your team and that poor god's death. Second, take as much damage for your allies as you can so your carries can focus on killing instead of survivng. Lastly, try to chase down any low health runners with your charge prey or Lurking In The Waters.
If the enemy team has lost 3 or more gods in a team fight try to rally your team to take on Fire Giant - before the enemies respawn - for that final rush. Be sure to tank the damage from the Fire Giant by attacking it first
I hope you all got something useful from my guide, and I hope you enjoyed it as well. I would like to thank you all for reading, and I would appreciate any helpful comments or criticisms.
