Any thoughts on bloodrazor just to add moar %damage when you land bandage toss and start auto attacking to proc the passive?
((even if it's a terrible idea I plan on trying it out once or twice for the lols))
Anyways I have some time to answer these questions.
For the love of God, please don't get Bloodrazors. I don't know what you're thinking in the first place, but what Amumu's kit currently offers is enough for his jungling needs. In fact, no offense to you, but I think you're not seeing the bigger of picture of what Amumu can do by himself and what he can offer in a team composition (utility). Spend a bit of time and do a bit of research on Amumu's capabilities (or in other words, explore him inside and out). Look at Amumu jungling videos, guides, everything you can get your hands on about Amumu. Then you'll realize what my point is. And don't tell me that you know everything about Amumu, because there's so much you haven't learn about him yet (and I can proudly admit that I occasionally do learn something about what Amumu can bring to the table even to this day, even though playing him is second nature to me. Constantly updating your knowledge of any champs you play does many wonders)
Second: Zhonyas is OK on Amumu, but I usually don't get it for him if I'm building tanky. I might get it for him if I was building AP on him simply because by building AP, he loses a lot of his survivability, and his active would help out a bit. In other words, Zhonyas is something I will usually not get simply because it doesn't fit into any tank build, unless I'm using it for a specific purpose (building him AP)
Do note that the bonus % damage that Amumu gains on his Despair from AP is rounded down to the closest whole number.
Just for FYI:
100-299 AP --> +1% to Despair
300 AP ------> +2% to Despair
(Haven't crunched numbers past 300 AP, though)
