GA is always a strong choice, because aside from the defensive bonuses it gives it is also a massive mental determent as well , as your opponents are unable to burst you down with a finishing ult , and many champions rely heavily on one shot finishing ults to win fights , such as veigar or darius. without that ult they are at a big disadvantage against a strong 1v1 dueler like udyr. however aegis could likely be substituted for something else. it gives a reletively small ammount of mr ,hp and armor. so your probably better off overall in picking an item that focus more on one of those 3 rather then a weak item giving you a little of each.

Firstly a randuins omen or frozen heart would be far more useful to you. randuins gives you an active slow to help chase or escape, which synergises well with bear stances speed boost. also effects your opponents attackspeed, which gives you even more 1v1 dueling power , as with your own attackspeed boost from tiger and the stun from bear you will be putting out far more dps then them. frozen heart will give you an even stronger attackspeed debuff, and the extra mana+ 20%cdr will help you fight much longer and be able to switch stances faster and more often.

Secondly your build is lacking the hp really needed to make use of atmas, instead a lifesteal item would serve you better , it will increase your survivability greatly as your dps is always decent in tiger stance and you might as well get some healing back from all your damage. a bloodthirster or wriggles if the BT is too expensive. this will give you more AD then the atmas will. also it is kind of a waste having both mallet AND trinity force, since the TF applies a slow , so with your build id suggest changing the mallet for a warmogs , this gives you far more hp then the mallet. also if you take a frozen heart the cdr will allow you to stance switch more, allowing you to proc the sheen effect of your TF more often.
