I'm going to agree with kicking the guy in the groin. Here's the thing.

ARMOR would also stop siphoning strike from decimating him.

Armor and MR also help his basic health bar last longer.

Put simply: Health, Armor, MR, are all useful for his life. Armor/MR are useful for his shield, but health isn't.

Why get health when armor/MR will help your life bar as well? Why get health when armor/MR help that life bar, and also help the shield you are generating constantly? If you are getting CCd so you can't generate shield, you should get merc treads or moonflair spellblade to counter that.

Now health isn't exactly BAD, but its a hell of a lot less useful than armor/MR. It can be nice to get a rylais for the slow, and depending on the enemy team, sunfire cape/randuin's omen for the damage/attackspeed slow. But generally, the only thing health helps against that armor/MR don't is true damage. And this is absorbed by your shield, too - Magicpen/AP will serve better for this.
