I believe that the Grail is not core, but Chalice of Harmony is. Galio really does not need 12% mana on kills, nor does he need the cooldown reduction (even though it's still good). What Galio need is an item with MR and mana regen to solve his early mana issues, which is what a Chalice offers.

TL;DR Galio needs his Chalice of Harmony, but the upgrade can wait for much longer as he does not need the Grail's stats.
