Manamune has a problem - It gives mana, but it gives TOO MUCH mana. AD Sion will benefit from Manamune early on, but once the mana levels it gives grows up it becomes pretty useless. It's like Clarity - early game it is helpful but late game it's too much. As for viability I can say it might work - but it won't be as strong as it only gives you mana sustain and damage and those 2 stats don't really mesh too well, you'd be better off getting items with more damage and other offensive/defensive stuff rather than getting something for spells(like mana) Good options would be: Last Whisper, Frozen Mallet, Bloodthirster, Infinity Edge, heck even Yoummu's would be a better alternative since Sion might have problems keeping up with his targets. Just remember that you need to build attack speed, crit, damage on AD Sion and you need to farm up those as fast as possible - then get a GA and Mercurial and rofl at everyone's effort to kill you. The counter to AD Sion is healing reduction so beware of Ignite, Morellonomicon and Executioner's Calling(if it still provides - heal)
