people would just stack hp and armor since his spell damage would be weak, add a good pusher top lane and Thresh would be out of luck.

if you buy any damage items on him, attack speed is the way to go to make the most of his onhit damage he gets from his Souls. This way he even gets some pushing power with items like Shiv and Hurricane. I don't recommend sending him top in the vast majority of scenarios but this is the one build I've actually seen work on pbe.
