Defense masteries don't give you damage. Black Cleaver doesn't give you crit, and Judgement can crit. On my runepage, the only source of damage is flat damage reds, for I switched my quints. You need Frozen Mallet to stick to targets as you should be attacking carries and peeling for friendlies if you're not interrupting someone with Q.

While I don't usually get a Sunfire Cape, some people get it as an early/mid defensive item because it's a cheap source of HP when compared to FM and Warmogs. Plus it has armor (which Garen gets more value out of because of his W), and you can make use of it's passive early on.
