Stone of Fal is totally useless on Jorm. because it's passive doesn't work on his AAs. Jorm. has special basics which work in a different manner, they are super fast and strong, but they don't proc with items secondary effects. Thes AAs of Jorm. are intentionally made for being boosted only with atk speed and power, like Dragon Fafnir's ones and Atlas AAs while in his 1.
Remember also that Atk. Speed intentionally works different on Jorm's basics: their number per second is always the same (5 while fully charged to 2 while his charge is empty) and can't be changed in any way, but atk speed will lower the time of recharge rate while you are not attacking. This seems useless but instead is really useful while you are in fight. Combining the atk speed of gilded + the kusari is a nice idea for boosting his AAs, so it's the power that gilded gives.
As a last thing, if you want a bruiser stone for Jorm. you have Void Stone and Stone of Binding, both super good on him. Other bruiser items can be Jade's emperor crown (only good early) and Tyrannical plate helm (always good). Lotus Crown is totally useless on him and Celestial can be used but its passive is not so good overall. Also, consider Ethereal Staff instead of the spear: it gives you an huge boost to HP, debuffs enemies, gives you power and CCR.
Also, Mystical last? Don't you want this to help you with your clear? I don't think I've ever seen someone build this last (and isn't the warrior meta in solo rn to build it after blackthorn)?
Ethereal Staff is better not instead of gilded, but instead of Spear of the Magus or Divine Ruin. Both items will be 90% bought by your mid, and one antiheal or damage taken debuff is sufficient in the team fights. Also, they don't give you tankiness, and Magus even if it gives lifesteal this is not sufficient for having a solid sustain without other lifesteal items.
If you want a good sustain on Jorm, the Vamp Shroud is really better. If you build gilded arrow you will do more damage with basics with the price of a missing sustain. In this case, you can use only potions early and med. cloak late, or Stone of Gaia (but its first passive doesn't work on Jorm.)
When you play Jorm Solo you have to choice between sustain (Vamp Shroud), Anti heal (Tainted), Power with abilities (Axe) and power with AAs (Gilded), depends on the enemy you have against.
If you dive into an ADC or a mage late game with Diamond arrow you literally wreck him/her with super strong fast AAs and eventually firing the 1, or using the 1+3+2 combo and then using 5 basic attacks per second without losing charge for a 3-4 seconds!
Anyway, i personally prefer the Vamp Shroud and its first update as a Jorm's starter, early and late, but i like a lot builds with Gilded-Diamond too.
