I just tried it in a custom game and lol'd. I can't believe I never noticed his crit animation is a headbutt. That alone is worth it :D. The only thing I noticed was the lack of MR, which could hurt you against sustained magic damage (burst would do absolutely nothing with the 4500 health or so you have, of course), which again makes me want to buy SV. It could replace Shurelya's imo. Oh, and I forgot to mention that Maokai's ult probably works like thornmail does in that it takes into account damage dealt before resistances, but I'm not sure. If it doesn't, it probably should, but I agree either way that health is kinda more important on him anyways; he has amazing base armor (the best in the game at level 18, I believe) and good health scaling.
