welllllllll....

its fine, but blood thirster is kinda overkill for lifesteal when you have blade as well as her W. its best to pick either BotRK or BT but in every situation as Irelia BotRK is better because asside from her ultimate all of her abilties are basically auto attacks and thus proc onhit effects (making BotRK's passive damage out scale BT easily). Shes also a very good Trinity Force user because of her ability to stick to targets (which is already great because of Q plus E stun/slow) is crasy with the MS boost on Trinity. Other than that you need to pick up a major armor item, most of the time that is Randuins Omen, and then get one more item most of the tiem its a defensive item, namely GA.

now this is sort of the go to build for her (as well as Jax) for regular play since shes a pretty strong mid/late game champion.

TL;DR: doran's blade -> phage or early vamp scepter -> sheen (if you started phage) or cutlass (if you started vamp) -> finish Tri or Botrk (depending on what you bought) -> wardens mail/specters cowl (depending on your lane opponent) -> finsish randuins or SV if you're behind or start Tri or BotRK (dependign on which one you bought) if ahead -> finish the one you didn't (either Randuin's or SV for behind, Botrk if ahead) -> buy the defensive item you didn't --> GA +elixers
