Just bring the summoner spell clarity when not jungling to avoid building mana regen items.

The mana regen and attack damage is the reason why manamune sounds good on Sion but that item builds up slowly to be an advantage in late game on Sion. I've tried it many times and it's just not good on Sion due to he not having a high mana pool early and his slow attacks combined with his slow ability usage. It's better to get Ravenous Hydra early with it's health regen, life steal, and damage to sustain your strength longer in lane along with tanky boots with other tanky items.
