In a competitive game, I just don't see when and how you would buy Triforce. The champs that build triforce do so because even though its an expensive item, all its components are things they need anyway. I'll use corki as an example: Corki is very slow so he needs the MS from zeal badly. Renekton has 2 dashes, mobility isn't a big issue. Corki also needs CC so phage is useful. Renekton has a low CD stun. Corki has mana issues and early game his damage is more from abilities than AA so sheen is useful. Yeah Sheen helps Renekton's burst too but the AP and mana is completely wasted. None of these components should be built before boots. None of them should be built before brutalizer. None of them should be built before resist items like armor and magic resist. Cooldown items provided by Spirit Visage, Randuin's Omen and Brutalizer are far more efficient increasers in Renekton's DPS than attack speed or Triforce Proc since as you admitted, Renekton's is primarily a caster, not an AA.

So what does this mean? It means if you are going to build Triforce it's going to be 6th item if anything else and you wouldn't have built any of its components other than perhaps Phage because none of the others are worth buying over other more useful alternatives. Meaning you still need a lot of farm. It's a luxury item to its very definition.
