A fed Irelia can easily Duel anyone and win. Likewise, so would a Riven, but Riven's combo is done is a straight string of actions. If she's disrupted for even a little bit (e.g. Irelia's stun), then it becomes dramatically harder to pick up where you left off. Life Steal only does it's work while you're autoattacking, so that little disrupt can actually mess up a fight pretty badly. Besides, Irelia has massive life-drain at the late game with both her Hiten Style and Transcendent Blades.
