His damage doesn't even increase that much from armour. It's only the fact that it's "free" while gaining defenses that it's worth it. 100 armour for 15 damage on the passive? 30 on his E? You're better off with gunblade so you can lock them down and actually reach them. You'll even heal for your passive's damage. For juggernauts - which he basically is the support version of - utility usually means more damage than actual damage stats. If you can make it easier to reach your target, you'll achieve your optimal situation sooner, and keep it easier.

That said, I don't know if 20 AP and 200 health is worth it, but it is also cheaper - and the slow barely lasts so it'll be to try and land clutch E's. The damage is also only ok. Not that the 20 AP would have you catch up to it anytime soon.
