The new Aegis is a fantastic early game item on anybody looking for tankiness, its upgrade is also awesome. Since he is a health tank, warmogs is also pretty damn good. You should also pick up either Rylais or Frozen Mallet for more CC (my personal prefference is FM). That gives you a solid 3-item core. From there its situational.

Enemy ADC is ripping you in half? Thornmail

Getting kited so bad you can't get in position? Randuin's

Need to combine tankiness with magical damage? Wit's End + Sunfire

Not enough physical damage on your team / feeling like a real NINJA? Atma's Impaler + Blade of the Ruined King

Dying too much? Guardian Angel

Enemy APC ripping you a new one? Spirit Visage

And as far as boots are concerned, 80% of the time Mercury Treads are the answer, otherwise Ninja Tabi or Boots of Swiftness
