Why brutalizer instead of PD? Well, because the first one gives a decent amount of the 3 major stats Garen needs the most, and because the second one is very expensive (way too much) for only 2 useful stats (Crit+MS). You never need AS on Garen unless you need to either push a tower or kill a major monster. Guess what? Youmuu is PERFECT in that role.

Mercs are interchangeable in my build as well. (Ionian, Tabis, or even swiftness are also good choices).
