To the anon who replied below me: I do tend to build over-tanky because I like running around feeling invincible, it's just a preference. I don't get all 3 of Warmog's, Randuin's and FoN though, but I do get 2 out of 3 in most games.

To next anon: I'm certainly no expert as Olaf, my main are Orianna and Riven, however I do play Olaf a fair bit, so my recommendations can be flawed but you could help improve on that :)

Randuin's Omen is my favourite survival item by far in LoL. I tend to get that even when I skip Trinity Force. Its active slow is really beneficial in all aspects of the game, and helps Olaf stick onto the targets really well. It also synergizes well with the Atma's Warmog's combo, since its slow duration increases with extra armour. Plus you could hold onto the Heart of Gold early game and squeeze gold out of that.

If you're looking for a one-build fits all kind of build using Youmuu's and Trinity as core items, here are other items I would suggest:

General build: Warmog's, Atma's, Randuin's and Mercury Treads / Ninja Tabi. I always get defensive boots as opposed to Berserker's Greaves.

Other recommendable items include Bloodthirster, Infinity Edge (since you already have a high crit chance with Youmuu's and Trinity), Maw of Malmortius, Zeke's Herald.

For an item build structure, I usually aim for 2 primary offensive items (pure attack bonuses), boots, 2 primary defensive items (pure survival bonuses) and 1 defense-offense item (AD with armour / MR).
