So many people out there have misconceptions on what a tank is.
A tank isn't a champ who just stacks resistances and health... Stop doing that it's stupid.
A tank is generally a bulky champ who has disables and can generally initiate.
Stats good on tanks (excluding resistances):
CDR (eg: frozen heart)
Auras (eg: aegis)
CC / Disable actives (eg: randuins)
STOP STACKING HEALTH FOR NO REASON.

One must just be sure not to take the same auras as the support does.
Usually the only passive aura that's picked up by a support is
So having a tank with aegis and a support with aegis in a team fight will leave you with 3 champions with an aegis aura and two with a double aura. Not too bad.
Supports don't usually build other aura items except occasionally Zeke's Herald, so as a tank you shouldn't have to change your itemization much based off of your support's build.
^that should work on pretty much any full-tank champion. Most of the other survivability items are pretty bad anyway. I almost never build stuff like Sunfire and Thornmail anymore.
Mundo goes tank how he pleases.
Meanwhile on tanks like Alistar CDR is very important.
