You're completely ignoring the fact that HP as a defensive stat is now stronger in S3 than it was in S1 or S2. Flat and Multiplicative penetration was made to cooperate better making resistances weaker across the board.

In addition, Mages don't have a solid counter to health stacking that's as powerful as BotRK. Liandry's exists, but for many mages this isn't a good option. Mages who succeed in dropping all of their spells in one big combo fail to see a lot of Liandry's procs since it merely refreshes the DoT instead of stacking them. Compare this to BotRK which simply procs on each hit and doesn't need to worry about cooldowns.

PLUS, AA now grants a scaling shield based on a stat that Singed already likes and gets free HP for.

This is why I mention that singed isn't in a bad spot at all.
