If you don't want to get screwed by Alistair you'd better think about dealing with him. Q into a well aimed Headbutt is 100% non tank/bruiser dead. The ultimate helps achieve that by making you a tough cow. Also helps heals be more relevant on yourself, and apply stampede and (if you have it) sunfire for longer. Alistair is already a champion that benefits from prolonged fights, so helping him be alive is a good thing for an ult to do.

It also means less stats to buy to be really tough, since his ult does what Armor and MR do for other tanks. While the AD is quite pointless, it never hurts to add an auto or two, so it's ok.
