I'm sure this would work but Fratmogs is pretty old-school. There are so many % damage threats that it's not really good, plus it's got no lifesteal to make use of the strengths in Olaf's kit that were introduced by the rework. Atma's is bad, it forces you into health-stacking to make it worthwhile, but the crit is useless and there are just better armor sources. Olaf isn't even a health stacker anymore. I prefer:

Ninja Tabi or Merc Treads (rare cases Boots of Swiftness)

Ravenous Hydra (or Blade of the Ruined King)

Randuins Omen (I think this item is just wonderful, strong against carries and free cc on anyone who hits you  + an active to help catch or help peel)

Spirit Visage

From here is where I get situational, I like Frozen Mallet and a resistance-heavy item against the opposing team's predominant damage type, Maw is great, Locket if my team doesn't have one (a bit of a habit from when buying Bulwark was my way of carrying as the tank), Frozen Heart is awesome, the passive doesn't over lap with Randuins so it's situationally great, not to mention flat out beats Atma's in every respect on Olaf.
