Undying Grasp grants few health. Aftershock grants much Armor and MR, but only for a short short while. effects much weaker than Lethal Tempo as well. Actually, I think right now there's no fitting base rune for Darius . Darius needs to be Tanky enough to survive at least until triggering Hemorrhage, for making difference in game. The situation now is Darius dies much faster than he hits for 5 times or get a kill by Noxian Guillotine(with teammates dealing dmg by his side).

I know if Juggernauts can be this Tanky, they are invincible. BUUUUT, if they can not get this Tanky, how can they help their team? People says"You build tank items you can at least tank dmg for your team", but There's DrMundo , there's TahmKench , Rammus , Malphite , Braum , Alistar , Nautilus , ... All of these champs are much more tanky than Darius , and even got crazy CCs... How come you pick Darius but not THEM?

Really I mean, ...

Give me an explain...

cuz darius can be tanky and have 3000 hp while still being able to kill anything.

thats the problem, so much penetration, true damage in the game.

top lane is a bruiser/fighter meta who can either run basically 3 keystones , conqueror , electrocute , grasp. and with nerfs to TP and ignite being so strong. tanks are in a bad spot.

tanks dont have damage to be able to trade/fight in lane. they are constant kill pressure by conqueror + ignite and if the bruiser/fighter is in a "hard lane" they can op for grasp which gives them damage and hp and healing.

at no point can a tank compete with this. one exception is SION and why? cuz he can opt right into def or get damage himself cuz of his W passive granting him sooo much hp and the shield his W gives him negating alot of damage without having to build into pure tank. then there is his passive which means taking a death isnt as punishable as it is on other champs cuz he can turn and get a kill in passive or objective, or cs still.
