I think that it makes more sense to build armor and MR before HP items than it does t o rush the HP. I'm basing that off of tips on the League website--basically they say that if you already have some form of HP sustain (W and R) then it makes sense to buy resistances next. This helps because people will have to work harder per HP they need to take from you, whereas you still recover the same amount from your sustain. If you build HP, you make it harder on yourself to recover enough HP to survive skirmishes.
