Deathfire... eh... I can see it on Swain, but it just doesn't feel necessary most of the time. If I were building it, it'd be because there's a priority target I absolutely have to kill before they wreck my team, but the thing is, those are usually squishies, and Swain doesn't need any help at all melting those once he has his Liandry's and some AP. Defensive items that help me stay in the teamfight longer usually feel a lot more worth it than an extra one-off burst of damage. I dunno, I guess if there were someone like Mundo or Brolaf who'd stacked a massive amount of health and kept diving on my squishies, I might consider it. But it'd be highly situational, particularly seeing as Swain already has Liandry's (which I consider my core damage item on him) to counter health-stacking.
