My general solo top bruiser rune page is pen-reds (armor or magic as is appropriate, typically armor), flat armor yellows, scaling magic resist blues, and movement quints.

I like the flat armor to counter my potential lane opponent and jungler (both of whom typically do physical damage), and to minimize minion damage when I extend for harass. The scaling magic resist is to cover the fact that magic resist is difficult to itemize on a bruiser (or an AD carry, for that matter). 27 mr at level 18 is not a small amount.

The movement quints are largely a matter of preference. I really like them, for the sorts of champs I play (Udyr and Ryze, mostly) solo top. Movement speed greatly benefits both of these champions, and the movement speed advantage in a solo lane is a significant factor in who will win the lane.

I would, however, recommend against hp/5 quints. There are better options. Hp/5 quints quickly become useless (and really, aren't all that useful early game either). It's rather easy to itemize for sustain. Wriggle's is a great item for many solo-top bruisers.
