You do need to focus Irelia... Offtanks "tank" with damage threat while their main tank tanks with CC threat; she's perfectly capable of killing you, so ignoring her will just make that easier for her. Other offtanks you could lock down with CC to be able to ignore her for a bit longer, but in her case that's not very effective, so the best alternative is to focus her down. Unfortunately, she builds tank after trinity force, so this is difficult. How do you counter that? Counter her in lane. Harass her till she has to push the lane with R or autoattacks to sustain herself, then gank her or keep her zoned for fear of a gank.
