I usually start with two regen beads and rush tiamat so I have the regen for laning, or sometimes a doran's shield against an all aa enemy like Yasuo or Tryndamere. If I don't get any hp regen I either get absurdly outfarmed and need 4-5 kills to make up for the gold difference or I have to constantly recall and get behind on xp, so by the time I get lv6 my enemy is too far ahead to all-in. Also, split pushing only works if you have teleport; I prefer ignite to make sure no one survives the full combo, and she can't kill towers nearly as fast as most top laners anyway.
