I would rather play him with AP. AP has a better synergy with his kit overall, considering that 3 of his abilities do magical damage and scale with AP. It also allows Unstoppable Force to hit like a truck.

What I like to do is to build Malphite a lot like Maokai: with a Rod of Ages, then full tank, with items like Frozen Heart.

It is extremely good and Malphite still tanks a lot of damage, while also being able to do more damage by himself, when compared to if he built only items with purely defensive stats.
