A very well considered and well-written post. I don't think I have any complaints with the underlying theory. What I will say is that I feel like the tanky build should still have an Infinity Edge in it somewhere in it just for the passive - I know it's very glass cannony, but hey, if Garen can get away with building it, surely Master Yi can, right? My idea is this - swap out Trinity Force for Infinity Edge, then make up for the lack of the Icy passive by replacing Warmog's with Frozen Mallet. Granted, that makes you a bit squishier at 550 less health, but it'll give you a huge damage boost to make up for it. Depending on your team comp, I think that may well be worth it.

The only other nitpick I have is that your bruiser build is good for health and armour, but a bit lacking for MR, with nothing but the Mercs until you get your Guardian Angel (and even then, that's better for armour than for MR). That of course may not be a problem depending on how the game's going, but personally, for a bruiser, I'd want to have a couple of MR options on the table. Banshee's might be good - you're Yi, so you're not going to have trouble with the enemy ignoring you, and the health would beef you up in general too. Alternatively, Spirit Visage would make Meditate that little bit more ludicrous (though not as ludicrous as AP Yi, natch).

Anyway, I'll have to try playing it a bit to see if it really works, but it certainly looks like a worthwhile idea to explore. I might comment again with my findings.
