Most mana items also give some hp/armor/mr. I just tried with roa, nashors tooth and iceborn gauntlet and he was doing great damage while being unkillable thanks to his heal refreshing with AAs. Also his armor scaling on W's damage is GREAT! He is a decent top with much better late game than a moving aura now.

And he can still support well. His passive gives more damage to your harass and reduced mana costs make up for what you would have gained by those few attacks. Yes, his lane is not unkillable any more but it is still good.
