There is a case to be made for bruta, IMO. The item is cheap, gives AD, CDR, ArPen and is cheap to boot. You also can build Youmuus off it, which means it is easier to position in fights, you deal much more damage to any squishy and if you save your active, you can do some real damage or get a lot of aggro while on your passive.

It's basically and offensive form of CDR that lets me (in my preferred build) get full CDR with two completed items plus boots and brutalizer. That's Brutalizer-Frozen Heart/Spirit Visage.

By the way, the shield is fucking amazing mid/late game. 450+ hit points that also deal % max HP on an AoE and on less than 10 seconds of cooldown is absolutely awesome. OP should probably try Shen and be amazed at his shield's shittyness compared to Sion's. And Shen's shield is Riot's good reason for his kit being so damn weak.
