That innate looks really nice, but it's no excuse to build mana at the expense of everything else. RoA and Tear together are generally Too Much Mana. Rylai's does a great deal of what Singed likes. Health, AP, and a powerful slow. RoA and Rylai's create fantastic base of health and ability power for Singed, and it lets you fill up your other four slots with Liandrys, boots, and resists.

Saying that the slow disincentivizes chasing Singed is like saying that armor disincentivizes attacking Singed. Hell, boots disincentivize chasing Singed. Sometimes there aren't any other real options, and the slow has the added benefit of reducing mobility even when the enemies are ignoring you.

The cooldown on the slow is pretty inconvenient for Singed, and many champions are fast enough or have blinks/rolls/slides/gap openers to hop right out of it. The slow generated by your poison trail is somewhat less reliable in its placement, but it is guaranteed to cover a larger area.

In summary: The fact that chasing you is a bad idea doesn't stop people from doing it, Rylai's slow is no exception. Rylai's gives an excellent combination of health and ability power to round out Singed's build. The slow works even when they aren't chasing you, and it combos well with Liandry's.
