Yes and no,

Yes because they have the potential to be crazy strong.

And No because they are actually lowering the mana on archangel's+not everything with mana is slot efficient for him.

Sorc boots, RoA, Seraph's, Iceborn Gauntlet, Abyssal (yes it gives more damage than Banshee's), Void Staff.

The only real changes to his build are seraph's, and Iceborn gauntlet. Seraph's has less mana than it would have had before at 1400 (-400) and while iceborn is a good replacement for Frozen heart in terms of offensive damage sometimes the passive may not come into play. Sure sometimes you will have the enemy who really wants to chase you, but you trade about 30 armor+5% cdr for 40 AP. Which is a minor damage boost.

Either way while seraph's gives a shield, it gives less mana, iceborn gives less armor. And abyssal is somewhat unchanged (same with banshee's veil). If he decides to go for more damage, he loses some tankyness. If he goes his old build, he will lose damage.
