Does anyone use Relic Shield/Face of the Mountain on Blitzcrank?

Blitzcrank is a support that does not have any natural means of healing his ADC. Not only this item will solve this problem, but will also make him tankier.

I have tried it once, and my conclusion is that if you plan to use this item, be sure to later buy either Tear of the Godess and stack it, or buy an Athene's Unholy Grail. This is because Relic Shield will make Blitz have even more utility, but then his grab will cost so much mana that you will barely have a chance to use it early, and if you do, Blitz will probably waste almost all his mana on his first engage, so if you do not feel confident that you are going to grab the enemy, you are better off just using Ancient Coin. Ancient Coin is also a better choice if you and your ADC are going to win lane and stomp the enemy hard, since the Relic Shield passive wouldn't be that useful.
