It's more about playstyle rather than viability imo. Most people build him as a super squishy burst mage because they want to explode people. Personally, I think it's a situational stat for Veigar, usually for when the enemy team composition is poke based or if you've built him on the tanky side (rylais, zhonyas, mr item, etc.). All around, its not something you should rush or prioritize heavily on; it's just nice to have, and has to be supplemented with other defensive items so that you don't implode before you can cast anything. :P
