I think your start is excellent: breastplate is THE item to get in a tank ymir. However, your build has barely any magic resist and ymir has the best natural hp gain in the game. Replace gauntlet of thebes with a stone of gaia or void stone and i think you'll have a good tank build going: the former for more "pure" tank, with ridiculous regen, the latter more "support/offensive" tank with the magic defense reduction aura, 20 focus, and 50 ap.

Also, consider the vanguard starting item for mid game: you'll replace it endgame, but for 750 gold no other item gives tanking stats that good, and the 5 damage reduction from all sources can help a lot when having to tank team fights with gods AND minions in the mix.
