Health scaling damage tanks (particularly volibear)

So i was looking at it, and I realized with 6 warmog's and health % runes and masteries volibears bonus health frenzy atk would deal around at least 1300 bonus damage, and he'd be sitting at around 11000 health(of course by that amount of health you'd want a leviathan too), while this clearly would be a "troll build" it seems like it would be fairly unstoppable(especially considering 1 atmas would only increase his damage by 160) 1 shot killer to anything not their tank/wukong/gragas/poppy in team fights and especially 1v1.

Wondering why this isn't done more often or such?
And Hi! I am pretty new to league of legends(been playing for about 2 months!) and always thinking about strange and interesting builds and unique ways to play the game other than the "standard" fare that most NA players seem to do(much to the disdain of my in-game peers till the Australian and Korean locale players get on during the night anyway).

Sometimes I get into such long games of push and tug(full builds for both teams by min 26:42) that by minute 58 of the game we are so over bloated with gold(9K just sitting there unused) that I often resell my gear and buy more "unique" item comps(multiple bloodthirsters, warmogs, all the snowballing items 5 archangels etc), and am curious why others don't do such thing or why these "builds" arn't more popular than they are(especially with extreme team fight kill trading/double ace K.O.). Or am I one of the few that get into these extremely fun games?

Definitely not trolling here I am asking out genuine curiosity from my own in-game experiences, I may well be a n00b for asking though

Volibear will never have enough money nor time to buy 6 warmog.

And with that build, it is still not effective enough to make it worthwhile

Because with no resistances any ranged carry will chew through your HP in no time. Especially if it's Kog'Maw or Vayne.

I see I see, well I asked because I've been in games where there has been enough money to do this but they just kept their regular build, while I resold went for 4 arcangels rabadans and lichbane and just started backdooring on ziggs :C

I am more or less asking because it seems like 1 shotting their kog/vayne seems to make the build practical in long lasting games, but i guess this only makes sense in theory crafting/custom games rather than in actual practice? even dealing 1.2K crits 2.5 times a second would still take longer than it would to shut down their team + intimidation factor? or at high elo is this irrelevant too verteran players(unafraid of the 11,000 health tank etc)? Since I am new I have not run across many verterans(except a karma or too) so am inexperienced in high level play compared to the interesting things i see in my matchmaking bracket.

EDIT: ahh i just realized an ap carry with 2K ap would be able to 1 shot the health with deathfire's grasp anyway.

Just in theory crafting.

No ranged ad would be afraid of this, considering how slow he would be. just a big meat puppet at that point.

while having that hp would make frenzy hit harder, having resistance will let you live, and give you more effective hp than all those warmogs would.

assuming that you somehow get enough gold and kills to pull this build off (5 Warmogs and a maxed Leviathan), you would be virtually immortal (unless they have someone with Madreds or a Kog). However, you would be setting on base MS and moving half the speed of smell.

TLDR; Not fast

and then the enemy team trolls you by buying 5 deathfire grasps and droping you down to 200 hp in 1-2 seconds.

In Vayne's case; it does not matter whether he has resistance or not...
