Attack speed will generally provide better effect than straight AD because of the active on hiten style already being there. As such BofRK is a solid item on Irelia because the % health is on hit. You don't need to build a lot of damage on irelia because she is best as an off tank. It should also be mentioned that Trinity is not a must but on Irelia anymore because iceborn gauntlet and BotRK are more reliable in their effects.

As for offensive items Spirit Visage is the best MR item for her because it will increase the heal from hiten and BotRK. Beyond that your teams Runic Bulwark which you should only get if your team doesn't have one against an AP heavy team should more than cover magic damage for the most part.

For armor beyond Iceborn gauntlet it somewhat depend but generally Randuins will provide the best effects because of the attack speed debuff. Frozen heart is not ideal because Irelia is not a high mana user. The other main option for when you just want to do a little more damage and have a better chance of getting assists is sunfire.

As far as health goes Frozen mallet will make you a challenge to escape when matched up with iceborn the Botrk active and Equilibrium Strike. You are passing on 300 health with this option instead of warmogs but you get some great slows.

There are a few things like getting ninja tabi or wit's end that are situational based on some enemies but that is for you to figure out on your own.
