When should I buy Frozen Heart and when should I buy Randuin's Omen?

Frozen Heart reduces attack speed of nearby enemies by 20%. It also provides 20% CDR, 99 armor and +500 mana.

Randuin's Omen slows attack speed AND movement speed of the enemy that's autoattacking you by 35%. It also provides 75 armor, +350 health, +25 health regeneration and 5% CDR.

I feel Frozen Heart is good to spam your Q and E thanks to the huge CDR and the mana it provides.

However, Randuin's Omen's offers a bunch of health that synergizes well with his passive. This item provides lower CDR and armor than Frozen Heart, and its slow requires you to be attacked by the enemy to be effective, but when it does, it's way more effective than Frozen Heart in my opinion. I like to combine Randuin's Omen with Shurelya's Reverie and Atma's Impaler, granting me a good mix of HP, armor and attack damage, making Malphite a bit more a of a bruiser, while still remaining very tanky.

Thoughts?
