As a Support and Tank support main I can see at least 8 viable set ups for either Support or Tanks. I doubt assassins would only have 2 or 3 so let me give it a try.

Excluding resolve and inspiration for some weird ass utility assassin I can see the following keystones happening:
 * Press the attack (precision)
 * Predator (domination)
 * Electrocute (domination)
 * Phase rush (sorcery)

Based on the preference you can take any of the 5 "trees" as secondary giving you at least 20 different combinations. Down to the nitty gritty you can even switch up preferred slots which gives another 9 combinations to choose from in the 4 main slot. Taking this into account the statement of only having 2 or 3 viable set ups is weird.

Also if you want to smooth out early game to have a less harsh early you can take Iron Skin or Mirror Shell from resolve. Then add what you could use depending on the enemy team this might be Perseverance if they got a lot of cc. Revitalize could be good if you are building life-steal anyway. And Second wind could add onto your sustain if you face a heavy poke lane.

If you want both mana and health you can go utility with Biscuit delivery and celestial body and ride out the first 10 minutes. You sacrifice damage, but you gain more stats from your main tree then you did with runes especially when taking inspiration second.

The stats you get from World Runes are way higher and more impactful then runes and masteries were. The trade off here is that you have to make an actual choice between more raw damage, defences or utility.
