It works, but he needs to be tanky, as he is melee and his only sustain unreliable. I often found I wasn't tanky enough for bruiser to get enough AP for the build to work overall, its very situational, and after the 60 minute mark becomes so bad compared to tank Nasus. I think pure defensive runes and masteries work best, as his AP doesn't give him strength at all until mid-late game. Also, mana regen is a BITCH early, if you can't manage mana well, you can get dived easily, not follow up on ganks, or simply be unable to harass. With the build you suggested, I'd add on a RoA and CDR boots, as that build has no CDR, which Nasus NEEDS for good Q damage.
