True, going deep into this tree is really betting on your teamfight capability and not on early game (CC resistances, anti-crit, %resistances and HP bonus, resistances per nearby enemy champion). On the other side, unyielding and block combined with doran's shield should really help you in negating champion harass during laning as you block 11 damage per auto-attack after resistances.
