Warmog's for what it is, is a good item and a seemingly no-brainer combo to pair up with Atma's Impaler. So, getting Warmog's is something that will definitely give you benefits and certainly a viable option for a HP/DPS Garen. However, I'll tell you why I don't consider it a 'must-have' item for this particular Garen build.

Warmog's is in a gray area for me with this specific build because if I get this as a 6th item I would have to forego Infinity Edge (which, I kid you not, helps you a lot out in the damage department). I end up sacrificing too much DPS and with all this health that I'm not considered a serious threat - so I'm just a walking 4k HP balloon forever alone. However, I could sacrifice a different item for it but each item has a purpose it serves, which I personally would have a hard time losing: Frozen Mallet (The slow is so good - and you get HP here anyway), Brutalizer (The early ArPen+AD is so helpful - makes early spin-to-win possible, CDR doesn't hurt), BV (the shield helps a ton for iniating a gank vs. champs with CC abilities), Atma's Impaler (a bulk of your AD comes from this, until IE - and it's the only item in your build that will have armor unless you get sunfire).

If you absolutely want Warmog's I'd try: Boots, Brutalizer, Frozen Mallet, Warmog's, Atma's, and FoN. And (maybe) sell your Brutalizer for either an Infinity Edge or Last Whisper -- depending on how much armor your opponents have. It's expensive, but pick up pieces and parts according to how the game progresses and you should be fine.
