About this Sion concept

I think many people know that with magic pen/hybrid pen and by maxing e, that Sion has a very strong laning phase in top lane. I recently thought I would try to get him to be both survivable and able to do damage. I might have found a build that does just that. I run 9 hybrid pen reds, 9 scaling armor yellows, 9 scaling mr blues, and 3 hybrid pen quints. While in laning phase, my build order would likely be something like this: item 3024 , item 3134 ,item 3158 item 3057 . The cdr on Sion is really good for damage already, but in combination with his E, which reduces armor by 20%, and the armor pen, I have found that Sion does stupid amounts of damage against people that do not rush armor early with the spell blade proc. The items would upgrade to item 3025 and item 3071 . AA after every spell and getting the slow adds great damage and allows you to kite bruisers even better. Black Cleaver also has nice team fight synergy with his Q and his ult to reduce enemy armor. I think I might be onto something with this build, but I would like to hear from more experienced players that understand Sion's kit to provide feedback. The final build would look something like this: item 3025 , item 3071 , item 3158, item 3143 , item 3102 , item 3156 .

Could be good, will have to experiment and see. Personally I'd swap out ionian boots for merc treads later on for the tenacity.
