If you're using life steal quints you're building into a number of weaknesses. !). You're building into a nerf, and 2). you're building into
Nasus weak early game.
Quintessence of Life Steal, sure, they scale best, but they don't start kicking in until around level 7. If you're up against someone who knows what they're doing you will probably loose early. Some will say that this build is good for beginners, but that's not true, in fact the opposite is true--variations of this build are better against better players and counters to
Nasus. I have no doubt about this: building mass sustain, especially with the new defensive tree, allows nasus to stay in lane and farm during the crucial early game (experience, farm) longer than life steal quints. Period.
This build is (I believe) one of the best hyper-carry builds for
Nasus top. It is not the best all-around build, however, because without
Teleport your ability to control the map (pushing, split-pushing etc. is severely limited. Because it severely limits spamming your spells you have to really manage your mana usage into mid game, and you will find it hard to push when you really need to push unless you get your mana items early.
No, this build is good for just one thing--farming like a maniac and driving your top opponent mad

face of the mountain
This item is not core at all. It makes more sense if you play
Nasus bot as a support because it allows you to farm your q and give your adc more gold and health, as well as giving him a damaging shield into mid game--i love this item. You can throw it on yourself if you're low health and the ratio comes out in your favor as far as health/damage received/dealt. If you use this item top it can be like a carrot for your jungle to come up and gank for the extra gold/health it gives, and it helps clear minion waves when another champion is near and stealing all your beautiful farm! Get creative with this item. When I play
Nasus top i either get this or
Spirit of the Ancient Golem
as a counter to more difficult top opponents (this is probably still the best all-around gold item for
Nasus because it gives you a mana reg boost allowing you to push with
Spirit Fire and not worry so much about conserving mana). It's passive also allows you to kill monsters faster making you're ability to kill
dragon and
baron nashor faster with your ultimate, and maybe most important of all it gives you health combined with your early core items, plus 10% CDR--This item is core for jungling...
Athene's Unholy Grail
Rushing this item may be the only way to salvage your lane against direct counters to
Nasus top like
Teemo,
Elise or
Olaf. Rushing a Chalice of Harmony and putting 3 levels on your
Spirit Fire will allow you to spam your abilities and get enough gold to buy the items you need to stay alive and farm your Q later, and if you know what you're doing you can zone out the best players with
Spirit Fire and still get nominal q farm. Also
Athene's Unholy Grail plus
Iceborn Gauntlet geve you 90 ap, which will burn through minions and make you a pushing machine (a little ap goes a long way on Nasus).
