55 AD ~ 2017 gold 36 MR ~ 555 gold so you're paying 728 gold for the 2 passives.

@50% life = 20 AD ~ 733 gold. So even without the shield, at 50% life you'll get your money back. @30% life (when shield activates) = 28 AD (~1027 gold) AND a 400 Magic shield. Not too sure if the shield takes your MR into account, but if it does, it pretty much acts as 400 HP (~1033 gold). If not, it's still 400 damage absorbed. The shield also regenerates itself every 60 seconds, so it has a regen rate of 33.333 / 5 seconds. @1% life = 39 AD ~ 1430 gold So if you're a Trynd and you don't care about MR or the shield, you'll still get around 147 gold extra when you have your ultimate on.

Overall this seems like a good item to get on an AD top champion (Trynd, Olaf and Mundo all work pretty well with this item) when you're against an AP top champion (Rumble, Kennen, Vlad etc)
