I agree with Polsemanden here. I have tried using armor quints for jungling and found it to be a big waste of time. It makes sense to use them toplane because of the overall AD bruiser theme. If you want more jungle survivability take more defensive masteries.

They are great for toplane. Sometimes I will use my full armor runepage with 40ty flat.

Haha, that's so fun.

Well, he needs them to jungle effectively with Regrowth Pendant. Otherwise he would have to take Cloth Armor, which would be at this stage a huge waste of money for him, more than runes could ever offer.

No... What.... Why would you ever get armor on a jungler besides malphite which even so often gets MS instead...

Exactly. Its a waste of quints when you could just run up the defensive tree a little more for an easier jungle.

You don't even need cloth armor start on Amumu ... Boots + 3 health pots works fine

If I helped you, click that +rep!

Defense tree a little more? It is already 0/21/9. And Amumu can start with neither boots or regrowth without armor seals and quints. You will die at golems.

Where the hell have you learned jungling. You don't do double golems obviously. Many junglers actually go wolves > blue > wraiths > wolves > red > wraiths. Just do the same on Amumu. Amumu can easily clear the jungle with boots. Regrowth also sucks as a starting item, it gives you no extra clear speed (boots lets you move to camps faster) and no extra ganking power. It's not hard to farm 800 gold for a Philo Stone.

Do people ever start anything but boots on junglers anymore? O_o

That movespeed is so vital for ganks. You can't gank anything at 320 MS lol
