^ Please. Riven built tanky is nothing more than a homeless man's Garen. She doesn't have the kit to make it effective. If you ever find yourself in a position where you need to itemize like that, you probably made a serious error during champion select. Anivia can tank, too; that doesn't mean it's a good idea.

That being said, Aegis/Bulwark is sneaky good on Riven as a defensive item. Since Valor is a shield, you don't want more health than you need to avoid getting your face bursted off, but Armor/MR work well in limited quantities, and that item has the perfect balance.
