Yeah, it gives slightly less health than Warmog's and no regen that's true.

But it is over twice as cheap, and gives the insane 15% all damage reduction. Combine that with Ninja Tabi and you take 25% reduced from everything, except turrets. Alistar's level 3 ultimate there and you take 95% reduced damage. 15% damage reduction makes up for the lack of regeneration and slight more hp than Warmog's gives, not to mention the cheap cost. You should just get this early so you can start building up those stacks and then work your way to Sword of the Occult or Mejai's Soulstealer, depending on whether you're AD or AP.
