Yeah, basically......

A Sion that can't farm health is just another bruiser, albeit one with no gap closer, no speed steroids, and the ability to be led around like a kite, with the same rough health as a sheet of rice paper.

The only thing about Nasus is he is just stacking damage, damage, and a bit more damage. Sion because an unstoppable, tanky, face melting, juggernaut. Atma's is pretty much core on him regardless of building a majorly AD or AP build, infinite health means infinite damage through Atma's, you just have to farm, which actually makes it even better on AP Sion considering that a single use of Death's Caress can typically clear an entire minion wave, gaining all the health in a mere moment (with the added benefit of not missing CS pretty much ever).

Personally I prefer AD Sion, which can become the most insane tank in the game. Grab a ravenous Hydra early on for the aoe lifesteal to stay in lane forever, after that snag either an Atma's Impaler, or a Maw of Malmortius depending on who you are laning against, grab the other one ASAP, follow it up with a Warmog's to gain even more sustain for farming and split pushing. At some point you will want boots, but later in the game sell them and get either Zephyr or a Phantom Dancer for the movespeed and attack speed (Added crits is a plus that synergizes very well with your Atma's, which is why I prefer PD, but the tenacity of Zephyr is nice too).

Notice in that last build I missed an item, that is because the last item could be so many different things, it all depends on the enemy team, if they have a lot of %health damage then you will want more MR in the form of Spirit Visage, if they have a lot of burst damage (AD or AP) get a GA, if they have a lot of kite power, but not as much damage, you can grab Boots of Swiftness, or the other part of the Zephyr/PD combo.

Sorry for the wall of text but I wanted to explain everything as best as I could for anybody that is looking for info on one of my favorite champs, or at least, my take on one of my favorite champs.
