Old question, but buying Frozen Mallet for the slow isn't probably a good idea; during Judgement it won't proc the slow, so you'll likely see one proc. Decisive Strike breaks slows and increases his MS anyway, so uptime isn't really a problem for him. If the enemy has a dash/flash, they might escape anyway, regardless of FM.

As for the health on it, even after the price/stat nerfs, Warmog's and Sunfire are probably still better options, as well as Randuin's if they're trying to kite you.

Ravenous Hydra seems totally unneeded when Judgement clears a wave with barely any extra AD. Again, sunfire presents a good option again if you want more AOE pressure, along with Health and Armor for scaling.
