Did he at least explained why whould it be a core item for her? Because 1) Everything that comes from the Zeal is pretty much useless on Leona (she has a gap closer, so the bonus MS isn't a big deal), 2) Sheen's passive improves her damage output but she doesn't really need extra mana if you don't spam (or should be getting it from a Frozen Heart) and any AP is a waste on Leona (Sheen = 25 AP = 7.5 bonus magic damage on her Q = something like 4 damage after MR is applied?), 3) The Phage would be better off turned into a Frozen Mallet if you want constant slow with your auto-attacks. All that takes to 4) After you get the Sheen you'll be expending 2810 gold to increase the passive bonus damage from 100% to 150%. Not to mention 5) You won't have any cooldown reduction (which is the most important stat for a tank with long cooldowns( until mid-game.

TL;DR: Why the hell would Trinity Force be of any good on Leona?
