The other difference between Hexdrinter/MoM and Wit's end is thier deffensive purposes. Wit's is a bit more "stay in the fight longer, deal as much dmg as possible", generally, it makes you more tanky that MoM, for it not only gives you more MRes, but also you could be benefitting from the att speed provided you have some form of lifesteal. Maw, on the other hand, has a different purpose, and it is "must.. survive... AP... burst...".

TL;DR: Wit's End gives you more sustained presence and tankiness, while Maw grants you the ability to survive some incoming (probably lethal) AP burst.
