I don't play Aatrox but I think not taking runic armor on him is a huge mistake. Pretty sure that the 8% outscales the 45 hp quite early after the first few levels and way more as the game goes on with your w + your passive + that 1 or maybe 2 lifesteal items you get on him...even more so when there's a shield or heal bot in your team. Plus you said you take Bloodlust or Grasp so...yeah.

You sound...afraid...or sth like that, of burst? I don't know. Ranged match ups top lane usually can't burst you and melee match ups that can, can't harass you under tower that much so you just farm there with proper wave control and you sustain back up in both cases with your insane sustain (which is increased by runic armor).
