You don't need more resistances than your W, defensive masteries, armor/lvl seals, mr/lvl glyphs and Zz'Rot Portal. The rest you can fill up with raw health (like Cleaver or Sterak's) I also like to combine Sterak's on him with Iceborn Gauntlet for the additional slow pre spin, has better synergy than Dead Man's Plate. Youmuu's ist still a nice option to find your engages, armorpen is the biggest damage resource in his kit together with CDR and crit is very valuable now you hitting in 3 seconds 50 times if you spin in 5 champions. Even 1% crit from runes is worthwile.

Also, the combination of Cleaver with early brutalizer already grants you 30% CDR to dominate the lane and with Gauntlet you increase to 40%.
