One thing I've noticed is that on some champions it is great to rush it, since they're not going to be in a safe place: Morgana/Singed. Given Morgana's ultimate, you do want to be relatively tanky quite early on, which the Rod of Ages helps with, and with Singed it's a beautiful item. 811 hp, mana, sustain and some AP? Lovely.

As well as that, it also does let you use spells quite a bit more, and the Catalyst it builds from can be built quite early in the laning phase in order to gain early sustain on champions like Anivia, although equally a Tear or Chalice of Harmony are good on her (especially after Athene's Unholy Grail)
