I see the same problems with Rod of Ages as before. All you have is sustain and some tankiness. You're doomed to play passively until you buy something that gives you actual damage. You can't bully your lane opponent, and after lvl 6 they will most likely be stronger than you. Even if you want to be just a cc bot, RoA isn't good for that, because it gives no cdr and no reliable mana sustain.

And which item are you gonna replace with Rod of Ages? Morellonomicion? Again, you'll lack cdr and mana regen. Zhonya is just too useful, maybe (but that's a big maybe) in some matchups where you don't need armor nor its active. Abyssal - same story basicly. Rabadon/Void Staff - only if you really see damage as totally dispensable.
