Honestly BotRK is sooooooo amazing for Tiger Udyr. Even with the AD sapped and the AS added onto it from the newest PBE iteration, this item gives him power to his Q nuke, his sustain (any form of lifesteal in general is insane with his turtle stance), and the active is great in helping alleviate his kite problem. I think this item is borderline core on him, my personal favorite build for Tiger Udyr (against a team with mixed damage in mind) is BotRK, Icebourne Gauntlet, Spirit Visage, Maw of Malmortius (although I don't like this item on most bruisers, this item's ability artificially boost Udyr's AD and the high synergy in boosting his turtle shield with MR + the passive shield, in addition with Udyr's generally pretty sturdy nature means he often gets a lot of benefit from the increase in AD), with the situational/luxury items of either Randuin's, Triforce, Hydra (although I think BotRK fits better for the more core sustain/dueling item, very useful if you want to splitpush instead), Zephyr, Shiv, Mercurial Scimitar and choice boots (resistance boots especially merc's seems the way to go, but you can alternatively go into AS boots if you really wish) seems like a pretty solid build imo.

Tiger Udyr I feel does better building resistances with less emphasis in high health stacking health due to his shield and lifesteal builds synergizing more with a medium health pool and high resistance build, your shield becomes more durable with resistances and your lifesteal/turtle heal aren't as effective with a gratuitous health pool. with enough CDR his shield really helps him soak up damage most people would have to chub up in raw health for. That's not to say you shouldn't build any health on him, but I think SV + maybe one giant's belt item will suffice for his health pool.
