You should go full Attack Speed on runes with the usual 4 armor 5 health 9mr.

Masteries I'd go offensive AD 21/9/0 with more focus on cdr and pure damage than utility and attack speed, you already get enough with your runes. A lot of people try to go tanky on masteries, often to get the extra tenacity, I feel like it's a complete waste of Irelia's damage.

Since most AP tops are CC heavy, Mercs is the go-to first item I'd recommend. You get tenacity on top of your passive and the MR is great.

Against AD I'd recommend you rush Ninja Tabi. The passive may not always be great, esp. against AD Casters, but it'll help a lot against ADCs during teamfights.

Go for some tankyness right after sustain (double dorans or scepter)+ boots then roam (you should be at level 8 to 11).

Nothing can duel you as soon as you've maxed W or E till very late game. Go mid and get fed.
