Even if OP was wrong about the health thing, I do think that he scales moderately well with resistances. He has VERY high base armor and MR, and extremely high base health too.

He might actually be able to build tanky-ish if they don't have true damage (note that new IE means there's a lot more of that flying around), and he builds resistance/AD hybrid items like Maw of Malmortius, Guardian Angel, etc. A few health items might be worth it for the utility they give based on how much AD he gets from them.

Frozen Mallet gives 80 in total which is on the highest end of AD available (note that that's ONLY AD he's getting from it so still isn't as good as Bloodthirster which also gives lifesteal and the shield, and Death's Dance which gives PhysicalVamp and a damage reducing passive, but Mallet might be good if you want the extra slow and haven't taken Glacial Augment).

Dead Man's Plate gives 30AD, 60Armor, and good movement speed and that additional burst proc. Rightious Glory is similar, trading 2AD (boo-hoo) and 30 armor, in return for mana, CDR, Health regen, and best of all the movement speed being for his whole team for a time.

He won't be assasinating anyone with such low AD values the items give (~30AD for a health item whereas actual AD items give a minimum of ~50). But the utility might make it worth it if he gets behind and wouldn't be able to assassinate anyway.
