Frozen heart is just plain bad. Mana is going to waste and thornmail has better effect. Also, one thing, Garen is not a tank. He is a brusier like Lee Sin or Irelia. Despite the fact many think he is, he is not a tank.

Same for Malphite, Mundo, Mordekaiser... Tanks are not meant to deal huge damage, they are in team to iniate, stun enemies, mitigate damage, shake off enemies from the carries, chase down the fleeing enemies and stop them in their tracks while others come.

Closest to a tank goes Malphite but he only has 1 stun that has long cooldown and he can't shake off enemies from the carry like Shen (for example).
