You still build Shiv, so you still get 70% Critchance. Atmas is not that inefficient - in fact, it should be fairly costefficient thanks to Yasuo's passive and he puts everything on it to good use. I consider Wit's passive decent, especially early on; you mainly AA on him, and the MR-shred makes E,Shiv, and sunfires stronger.

Ultimately, yes, a glasscannon build will outdamage a tank build - however, Infinity Edge is very expensive - so unless you get fed, you won't be building tanky anytime soon, and remain relatively squishy for a large part of the game. You also have no Sustain or Penetration (unless you ult), so armorstacking could become a problem. While the build you sugested IS tankier, its barely so - it offers 5 MR over a fully stacked WE, and slightly more HP (as well as the AS-slow). Should've mentioned that I also build Mercs.

In a lategame situation it's probably better, but its also a good deal more expensive. The tankbuild is rather cheap, and you start getting beefy earlier while still doing decent damage, so which is better depends on the situation IMO.
