Some numbers for that build. (This is all for champ + items) You'll have 128 Mres, 199 armor (278 with steroid), 202 damage without the steroid, ~280 with, ~3300 HP. If you w before you hit your e, you'll do 360 damage, which is very definitely not shabby given it's a decent sized AoE and what its secondary effect is.

But that's without runes. Armor runes are great on him, as he starts with low base armor but high growth. HP quints are also good, as they buff your passive (only by 7, but, hey. I've gotten away with 7 or less HP a bunch of times whilst playing) and you also start with somewhat low HP for a tank. Your blues and reds are sorta up to you.
