The ability details page says that her passive applies before armor and magic resist are taken into account, so it would take the amount of damage you would receive as if you had zero armor and magic resist, halve the amount exceeding 10% of her current health, then armor and magic resist would reduce the damage even further. While I wouldn't say that getting more flat health scales well with her passive, it sounds to me like armor and magic resist would actually work pretty well with it.

Unless the ability details page is wrong (which it has been about other stuff), and her passive is applied after armor and magic resist reduction. If that's the case, getting more armor and magic resist would cause her passive to activate much less often.
