You can do a mix of both if you're not sure, you can only trail and error your build, I make my own builds and keep changing to counter, but here are two items that armour and health 
and 
.
Dont think of it quite like that. The fact is, different champs do different things. Some have more penetration, and some have more burst damage. You have to buy to fit the current match. At first I would say buy some armor, but dont forget to build up health also. You don't have to always rush an item, build around. You may end up wanting to sell that 
gauntlet to go for a 
Thornmail (i.e. if you're being targeted by the adc a little too much for your own good, this will help.)
How many times is it about 40 minutes in and you're full build, back against your base with 4k extra to spend?
Depends on who is doing the most damage on the enemy team. Their APC doing a hell of a lot? Build health and a bit of MR. ADC ripping you to pieces? Get a and/or a 
. Just keep in mind you need some health behind any armor or MR you buy. Having 600 armor means very very little when you only have 1100 health at minute 30. Because of that, 
and others that give health and resistances go a little bit farther in my book.
Do not buy Thornmail AND a Attack speed slowing item, ever !
I main tanks and i had the same question starting. Building health is very important. Items that give you both health and some ability power or attack damage are great. The only time you build throughout the game is when you play Rammus. For Alistar, health and ability power is the way to go. Good luck man. (btw warmogs is your best friend).
