I don't think the active on FotM will deduct health from shields.

Wit's End, Sunfire and Abyssal Scepter are all good items for bruiser Nautilus. Wit's easily gives you the larger damage increase (142 magic damage makes you hit like a battering ram in the midgame) but its effectiveness plummets if you can't keep your shield up so I only tend to take it if I'm not facing a ton of burst damage, and it tends to fall off anyway once teamfights start happening. Abyssal is a more reliable/consistent option in general and it's good if you have some magic damage allies to take advantage of the aura. Sunfire is Sunfire - if you want damage and armor, it's an option, though I tend to skip Sunfire for Randuin's the majority of the time.
