I dont like to buy survivability on morgana at all. I get an early chalice for mana regen, then zhonya, cap. If they have a burst AP mid or double AP I usually get abyssal after zhonyas. If i have any problems in mid I buy a negatron before zhonya. But I really dislike RoA in morgana, because to me she is a champion who goes all in. She flashes or runs in to the enemy team after using her Q and lower they MR with her W, then ulties the entire team. If they run, u can follow, if they turn to you... what are you gonna do? Zhonya. And after it's effect wears off, either your team is able to win the TF or not. Doesn't matter how much health you have, you have long CD so once you have used everything there's no much you can do in a fight. So if your team can follow, you win, but if they can't, you are probably gonna be dead, regardless of how much health you get. So, why not going straight AP instead? That will make your ultimate to deal more damage (half-health squishies at least), so your team can clean up easily.

The other option is turn morgana in to a farming machine. 20 min in lane farming. And farming. So then you can get  RoA and Zhonyas and get in a TF. But in this season that's not what people want from an AP mid. You have the mid game advantage, you have the option of roaming top, bot, and help the jungler when dealing with a counterjungler. Games are faster now. So why stay in line and afk farm to get expensive items that only offer you survivability? I feel like it's a waste of money and time. I roam as soon as I get six unless I can kill the midlaner with a RWQ combo. Snowball other lines, take early objetives. When a TF starts, I got zhonya so I can get in to the middle of the fight. If i use the money to get RoA, the whole team would kill me before the second part of my R triggers, because you need time for RoA to stack and get big. Even at full stacks, a good team will burst you if you don't use zhonya.

So I find more usefull to get AP morgana rushing zhonyas than tanky morgana. Her long CDs make her a second support late game because you don't have that much damage, so unles you're playing her as support (and even when I play her support I rush Zhonya after gold items and sightstone) I would build her AP instead of Tanky.

Usually I start with 2 faerie charm, 3 health pots. First back chalice and boots, then I rush Zhonya, Sorc boots, Deathcap, void or abyssal, finish grial. Last item is situational.

Give it a try and tell me how it goes =)
