I don't really agree. Yes, ghouls don't last long. Yes, building pure damage will make you do more damage. But Aegis is already a powerful aura item. The survivability it gives isn't for your ghouls, it's for you and your team, and on most champs the +8 damage isn't the point. But in Yorick's case the damage it gives to your ghouls would basically be like having a free pickaxe and aegis is pretty much pure survivability item.

It's basically the Jarman principle: Sure you can build damage and technically do more damage, but why do that when you can still do damage while building pure survivability? That's also why Renekton isn't a favored tanky DPS anymore; after the nerfs he has to build at least a little damage to be a threat before which consequently reduces his survivability and makes him outclassed by the likes of Jarman who doesn't need to build for damage at all.
