The reasoning for 3 mana over hp is because tier one trinket gives just enough life steal that having more mana benefits more.
Assassin's Blessing
Tiny Trinket
Healing Potion
Mana Potion
Blink Rune
Bancroft's Talon
Shoes of the Magi
Demonic Grip
Telkhines Ring
Polynomicon
Rod of Tahuti
The life steal from this should keep your health nice and full before and after most engages plus the health gained from camps after the fact is nice not to mention the amount of power this hits for.
Bancroft's Talon
Typhon's Fang
Demonic Grip
Telkhines Ring
Polynomicon
Rod of Tahuti
These items are for those who'd rather/need more pen, cooldown, movement speed, defense etc than more lifesteal in the build.

This build for Ao Kuang is for getting in and out of fights fast with enough health for another engage. His single target damage is very solid allowing for quick kills, his team fight potential drops a little though because if he's targeted out escape can become difficult do to how squishy he is which is why lifesteal mitigates that some.

Dragon King's Sword
Every 20 seconds, Ao Kuang gets a stack of Dragon's King Sword. As long as he has a stack, his next non-ultimate ability that deals damage to an enemy god will consume a stack to have its cooldown reduced by 2s and heals Ao Kuang for 5% of his Maximum Health. Successfully executing an Enemy god with King of the Eastern Seas fully charges Dragon's King Sword.

Not really an argument. You should elaborate on your point. Also Blue boots is currently popular because of:
1. Doom Orb/Blue boots start in Mid for mages (not Ao), skipping mage's blessing.
2. In Duo lane, it's common for mages to get mage's blessing and blue boots and pythags for 30% CDR early game.
And neither of these apply to Ao as he's a jungler. With some rare use in Solo lane.
Not that Blue boots is bad on Ao, but Purple boots is good on him too.
He can be built 2 ways but if you go attack speed route I would probably only bother with Demonic and Telkhines. I don't think Hastened is really worth it on him.
