She doesn't have high variability clutch scenarios, and basically tries to outstat the enemy, unlike almost every other support with actual CC. Doesn't seem relevant at the moment does it?

Because all she can do is outstat the enemy, your build is everything, and if warmog's what you need, then warmog's what you need. It's hard for me to a see a situation where you'd want to push your health stacking that far, especially when you can get mediary items that have as many upsides and fewer downsides - like RoA now that the W costs as much mana as it does, and spirit visage since you do get a bit of healing, yourself. They don't have the 3k health requirement, and the total durability from visage is better than warmogs granted you're actually facing spell damage.

But because of her brute force heal-to-win nature, she has to stay on curve, and she needs the AP.

Her weakness has never been extended fights where she needs warmogs to regen back up - if you instead get AP, you'll just heal for so much more, you won't have to heal to the point where you're drained, so if you're healing yourself dry, getting AP will help you get around that. Her main problem has been when she gets focused. And if you're in that situation I wouldn't say warmog's the definitive solution.
