OP you got rather good build

Boots->Catalyst->RoA->M.pen boots-> and then like you've said Hourglass (if your on top lane or team fights gonna happen in some close time) or DC (if you'r on par with lane enemy and he has hard time bursting you, or you didnt mention it, Abyssal (its a rly good item for Swain on mid lane).

Dont pick WotA since this item has nothing (exept AP) that you need (Swain does not need any spellvamp since he has enough heal, you need tankyness and resists to counter ignite, heal reduction and WotA wont help you at all with it).

Unholly is only more or less viable vs double AP enemy team setup (or Tripple like fiddle jungle ;) ) vs 1 ap (mid lane) you dont need it at all and its a huge waste of gold.
