Well yes, with Spirit Visage and enough AP, the first few shots from a turret will actually -heal- you when you've got Bulwark on even if you've built no armor. So yeah, something like Athene's for mana, possibly Spirit Visage for your heals seeing as it also gives you AP thanks to your passive, and then just AP/tank items and you should still be doing fairly well against an entirely AD team even if your MR's a bit wasted on the limited magic damage they'll deal. The ult's still a potential teamfight-winner if used properly.

I mean, Malphite is an armour tank - one ability's damage scaling off it and another increasing his total armor by 40%, but people don't immediately run away and cry if he's up against an AP toplaner. I don't see why the same situation reversed apparently makes Galio players think him unviable.
