The slow from Iceborn Gauntlet and Frozen Mallet do NOT stack. So getting both is counterproductive. Building Randuin is better, since the active actually reduces AS.

Trinity brings more bang for your buck than Gauntlet+FM ant takes only 1 slot. Wukong also doesn't really need that huge slow on FM or gauntlet because he has a gapcloser and speed boost on his ult, so the trinity proc is enough. His clone is a survivablity mechanic that is enough by itself until the end of mid-game if you go for an assassin build, so you don't need to build tanky early-on. Trinity damage proc synergises with Wu's short cooldowns and Q and allows you to burst squishies. The MS boost is very welcome.

There are other tanky items that are more effective than Gauntlet on Wu since you don't really make use of the mana all that much, Randuin or Sunfire usually give you equal survivability. Obviously, if you are going for a tanky build Gauntlet or FM is definitely a better idea than a Trinity.
