Well when you only build tanky items then you wont deal much damage. I doubt that Mundo and Voli deal much damage either when you only build things like that.

I usually get Philo into Shurelyias, HoG into Randuins, Atmas and boots of choice. Thats what i always get. Things that can be build on top of that are Aegis, Triforce (yes it works when you want damage), Frozen Mallet, Sunfire Cape (even tho i personally dont like it), IE (yes that works too), Wriggles.

It all depends on what your team needs. When you need a tanky initiator that mostly soaks up damage and takes out their carries get more tanky items and when you need more dps get the damage items...

Also i personally think Frozen Heart + Randuins + E is too much. But its still not a bad item i just wouldnt consider it "core" as someone said before.
