Armor / Magic Resist > Health.

Using just around 12000 gold for standard tank items (compare it to 15675 gold for buying 5 Warmog's) you can easily get more than 12000 of 'effective' health -- which is the actual amount of damage you can take before going down -- for both magic damage AND physical damage. Focus on a single stat, Armour or Magic Resist, and your effective health can easily go over 20k for that particular damage type. And even then you have unique effects from the said standard tank items, like Frozen Heart and Guardian Angel.

For example, I just had a Vladimir, who had been stacking Warmog's, get killed within SECONDS by a Warwick with Madred's and a Malzahar. Any MR or Armour would have halved any percentage damage, allowing him to get out.
