Depends on your and your opponents team comps, but the two best items for each stat are Frozen heart, Thornmail, Righteous glory, Warmogs, Spirit Visage and Solari Locket. Mana is just as important for Alistar as HP so I'd always start by heading into Glacial shroud or Catalyst, then finishing an item to deal with their main damage source, followed by some CDR and other tank stats. People won't focus you if you build tank, you'll be too tanky anyway even without ult, so you gotta find some way to either be threatening or look threatening. I generally try to get cdr maxed out first and just provide peel and heals for the carries. However if you have a heavy dive comp like Vi Lissandra Irelia etc, you'll want to max out your frontline beefyness and help with engages by buying a righteous glory and warding well to provide flanks.
