I'm sorry, I missed two major points because of the rush I was in to respond to your post.

5) Garen and Darius are much better at tanking than dealing damage, so their better bet is usually to outlast the opponent and then strike a killing blow. As such, it's rather out-of-the-way to build extra AD jsut so that your ult deals enough damage to be worth it.  Garen has no such need, and can just build tanky and contribute very well to the fight.

6) Darius' ult levels a lot more significantly than Garen's does. For Darius, the damage scales on a few different things, so it's not particularly powerful at early ranks unless the enemy let you get fed in the early game.  For Garen, however, it's pretty consistent: Get the enemy down to 15-20% of their maximum health, and they die.  Yes, unless they have MRes, but why are you building MRes to counter a guy dealing ridiculous amounts of physical damage?
