Well in s3 your AA staff will be a seraph's embrace, giving you a 500-1000 strength shield (25% of current mana), meaning that health won't be a big concern. I'd recomend either GA (if you add up the seraph sheild, ult SV and RoA HP, resistances are best for you. Also, the revive effect is godly in teamfights, you might just combo it with seraph's to be unkillable after you revive, but IDK) or a Void staff (New penatration is % Pen goes before flat penatration, or so I heard.  If true, this is undoubtably the best damage item on ryze).

Also, I agree with everyone else on Abbysal > BV, The cd on the sheild is too long, it's overpriced, abbysal gives so much more damage. Plus you don't need the HP given the fact you have over 4k health before resists counting Base + RoA + Seraph sheild + GA passive + SV.
