it works, but you don't exactly need IE.

the core items are death's dance, phantom dancer and essence reaver. the reasoning is because DD+PD gives you a massive damage reduction, and with essence reaver the CDR is effectively 40% +5% mastery.

then you can build items like deadmans for mobility, or frozen mallet for that slow and extra health.

however, you're still extremely vulnerable against knockback champions like vayne and quinn, once you miss procing those bravado stacks your Q will be on cooldown.
