this build is not so great because it lacks a lot of resistances and mana. You are also building a lot of AP which is next to useless on Yorick. A much better example of a good build is the following:

-Ninja Tabi or Merc Treads(depending on the amounts of cc on the enemy team or if their ad carry is fed)

-Manamune(pretty core on Yorick since like...forever)

-Iceborn Gauntlet(I think this new item is very good on Yorick and is a good alternative to Tri Force .I'd take Tri Force only if I'm absolutely stomping the game and their ad is insignifiant)

-Frozen Heart(pretty much core item)

-Warmog's Armor(no need for frozen mallet since u got a slowing ghoul and Iceborn)

-Spirit Visage or Maw of Malmortius (Spirit Visage if they have sustained magic damage and you will be fighting long teamfights (Karthus, Cassiopeia,Vladimir,Ryze) or Maw if you are either stomping the game or having big troubles against burst damage (Veigar,Fizz,LeBlanc)  )

This build gives you enough mana to harrass and sustain your lane, enough armor and magic resistance to be tanky, MAX CDR so you spam your ghouls as often as possible(doing more damage and getting tankier) , enough HP through Warmogs and the situational Spirit Visage, and enough damage through the AD from manamune,your mana items and the sheen proc from Iceborn. All in all, this build is better than the one you described and doesn't include Gunblade and BT which imo are useless on Yorick.
