remember that hydra's aoe procs will get the full benefit of Sion's large lifesteal boost during his passive. His passive's large boost in attack speed will allow him to proc hydra aoes many times as well. This, in turn, will allow his passive to last longer. It's my feeling that Hydra is Sion's ideal damage item.

Hydra will work well outside of his passive state too, while Q and W are great aoe damage spells, I would much, much rather be saving them for either going all-in or preventing an all-in instead of needing to use them for waveclear. They have very long cooldowns and keep Sion's very immobile butt safe and deadly. Hydra lets you waveclear without and keep your spell usage options open.
