I build him full tank most of the time, I build a philosphers stone, heart of gold, mercury treads or ninja tabi, force of nature, sunfire cape, either build a shurelias or sell the philo and buy a b.v. or something, randuins omen, and i finish with a mostly situational item, usually a frozen heart, warmogs, or guardian angel depending.

Full tank works well for me but if you want a tanky bruiser build i would probably say build a warmogs instead of the sunfire cape, sell the philsophers stone and buy an atma's impaler and finish with a trinity force. Wont give you too much damage but should give you enough tankyness to still be the tank for your team and still deal damage and kill their carries.
