IMHO I think Iceborn Gauntlet is much better on him than Frozen Mallet.

Don't take me wrong, I love Frozen Mallet, I always defended this item on this wiki everytime people call it noob trap, but on Sion I think Mallet just works bad.

If you build enough CDR you have always something up to cast to proc IBG, usually I get IBG and FH, this fixes as well all mana problems too. As health Item I take only a Sunfire Cape because unless you are really bad at farming, his passive gives all what you need, also Hydra+IBG make you a very dangerous split pusher. For last, with high CDR your ultimate is always up end game, so you can splitpush having one of the best escaping tools ever, giving time to your team to do something while 2 or more enemies are trying to catch you while you run back screaming "COWARDS!!!".

I see the Frozen Mallet better on champions with some kind of reliable mobility skill and high Attack Speed (Warwick and Xin Zhao just to make 2 examples), Sion simply misses both things and with the infinite health scaling flat armor is better than more raw health.

Frozen Mallet maybe works better while Glory in Death is up, but I think Death Surge procs IBG too and after 2 seconds you manage to hit someone you are dead for sure anyway, so why bother?
