This will probably be a good set up (i assume) for most normal games, if their team is balanced. If they are heavy ap though, i can start with a regrowth pendant > FoN i suppose.
Yeah, that's fine, just so long as generally you get an Aegis by the 20 minute mark, you should be okay. I tend to get it first just in case we start having roaming team fights/ganks earlier than 20 minutes. Sometimes I go straight Chain/Negatron Cloak if I really need it to defend my lane/there's a heavy concentration of AP/DPS so that it's more worthwhile. If you're finding yourself short of Aegis at the 20 minute mark by 500 gold or so, you might want to consider saving the Merc Treads for afterwards. Generally early game CC isn't going to make much difference to a tank, whereas the team stat bonus on the aegis could mean the difference between your carry dying or surviving.
