mallet and warmog's are both good, but phage is a better intermediate item for top lane, so mallet wins it over for me.

what runes/masteries are you using? If you are going 21 offense, and have arpen marks & quints, then last whisper doesn't work too well, especially with ghostblade. I would replace that with a resist item, something like:

[.]Maw of Malmortius

[.]Force of Nature

[.]Randuin's Omen

[.]Aegis of the Legion
