And 250hp by lvl 11 is like 17% increase in hp (more at earlier levels, like 25% increase at lvl 6), which is significant when your biggest threat in mid-game are the bursts from AP carries.
Finally, there's enough gold in the jungle to have both philo + boots 1 after your first clear, and HoG before the 10 mins mark (usually around the 8 mins mark after you give blue to mid). Nothing is really stopping you from building HoG, get Frozen Heart, then sell HoG once you need your 6th slot.

Well the other reason I don't go gp5 is because regrowth pendant start on skarner leaves you dangerous low on HP for a good bit of your first clear compared to cloth and 5 pots, which puts you in a lot more danger of being counter jungled or ganked in your jungle. And also I've found it leaves me at too low of hp to safely gank early on comparatively, though this could be due to me running movement speed% quints(I run AS marks) and not something else.
