almost definitely, but you probably wouldn't be tanking. Also, please don't use his ult as primarily a damage dealing spell, even if you do go AP.

Also, you'd almost certainly want rylai's. Initial impact of sapling slows them -> they can't run from the explosion. The health bonus stacks nicely with his passive as well. (Also, cancelling his ult will slow any enemies inside it, preventing them from getting away from a teamfight they just lost).
