Yeah I did try Iceborn, it's not bad, but it's not the best either. A Philo + Spirit Stone gives you all the regen you'll need and Naut has so much CC that the slow field barely adds anything. I mean your passive + E gives you 3 seconds of CC (single target, 2 seconds on everyone around you), which is just as long as Iceborn's field lasts.

The splash damage isn't that impressive either, Naut benefits a lot more from DoT based damage if you want to go for damage (Liandry's, Elder Lizard, Sunfire, etc).

Naut's CDs are also too long to keep the slow field active continuously.

So yeah. You can kinda compare it to Sunfire Cape. It's one of those items that gives a bit of damage and a bit of defense, but neither in an amount that will make a huge difference. It's not bad though, there are certainly worse choices and you should try it out and decide for yourself ;) Maybe if you max out CDR on Naut (which Iceborn will help with) you might be able to space out your abilities to keep the field up for a long time.
