Apart from the archangels it's not a bad way to start a build but as singed you benefit a lot from RoA for its survivability. Yes it would probably be better to build tanky, would you rather have say, a 6000 HP singed that runs around providing still heavy damage in teamfights and also never dies or would you rather have a squishier singed that dies easier and probably won't do as much damage throughout the fight? Always remember that even if you build tanky your ult gives you quite a lot of damage and it lasts longer than most teamfights go for.
If I have helped in anyway at all a +rep will be appreciated lots
Thanks to LaCorpse, Hogopogo and JhoiJhoi for the amazing sigs
Normal Singed build:
1. Rod of Ages, Mercury's Treads, Rylai's Crystal Scepter, Thornmail, Liandry's Torment, Seraph's Embrace/ Abyssal Mask
2. Tear of the Goddess, Rylai's Crystal Scepter, Mercury's Treads, Seraph's Embrace, Thornmail, Liandry's Torment, Abyssal Mask
Frozen Heart and Banshee's Veil are both not that great at S3, there are better items. And the key item to Singed is Rylai's Crystal Scepter, Rod of Ages is just the best first item.

The thing about Singed is that he gets tanky AND does damage. You should take advantage of this. I like to go all out with him, getting in the midst of things and annoying the **** out of everybody.
Rod of Ages: It helps a lot, and if you're not that used to playing him it's a must have item.
I'm currently building him like this:
Start whatever you like, depends on map. Don't overlook Doran's Shield.
Tear of the Goddess
Boots of Swiftness (alacrity or homeguard). If enemy team has lots of CC and APs are dangerous, get Mercury's Treads.
Rylai's Crystal Scepter
Liandry's Torment
Seraph's Embrace
This is always. Usually I get Liandry's Torment as a 5th item and get a defensive one first (I always build 2 defensive items):
Abyssal Mask first if double AP threat.
then Thornmail or Frozen Heart if heavy AD.
I've also been testing out Iceborn Gauntlet and I'm surprised by it. Gives you armor, CDR, mana (thus HP), and AP. Spellblade is icing on the cake and the small AoE slow is also useful against people with MS steroids.
Haven't had a bad Singed game in forever with this build

Destroyed Sheen + Destroyed Glacial = Destroyed Gauntlet.
Also, you don't want any excess mana stacking on Singed. This is why you also don't want Frozen Heart and Thornmail is better. Also, since the Insanity Potion change Mercury's Treads are a must.

Like others have said Rod of Ages is a GREAT item, and is both offensive and defensive. That alone is enough to make you somewhat tanky (not only from hp, but from mana due to Empowered Bulwark).

Tear of the Goddess
Merc's Treads
Rylai's
Archangels
Liandrys
Of course with variations. The last 2 items are often pure defensive items, like Frozen Heart or Banshees. But I was wondering, this is a rather offensive build complared to others I've seen. Would it be better to to build tanky? I'm not the best Singed player, but I am Level 30 and consider myself about average.
