bah, personally i solved the problem changing completely the approach i used on him.. screw glass dps build hello bruiser aatrox.. defensive runes setup with as reds and 9/21/0 masteries setup, heavily invest in defenses and pick up a couple of cheap offensive ad items, he gets all the AS he needs from his kit, his scalings are decent so you might as well build straight AD for dmg ( i'd take BT over BOTRK on him anyday, Hydra if you're doing really really good ).

For laning purposes armor runes or bonus HP runes, rush a doran shield and then kindlegem into locket, randuin/warmog/mallet depending on your taste although i'm a freak with item actives so i'd rush randuin, then just BT or last whisper and close the deal with a GA.. you're not gonna do the monstrous amount of damage you'd see a melee carry oriented aatrox ofc but damn you're beefy and boy he can peel with that knockup/slow/randuin combo
