No, if you put those items on another tanky DPS they will not do as well. Xin Zhao has a great combination of burst and DPS in teamfights. His ERQ is incredible burst with some armor pen and his W allows for high DPS after his initial burst and reduces his CDs to get the burst off ANOTHER time. If you read the last part of the guide I discuss his effectiveness vs other champions. Irelia doesn't have as much upfront burst as Xin and when Irelia's W is on CD, she does much less damage. Xin's W to refresh CDs gives him more overall DPS than her. Xin compared to Wukong is the same. Wukong does little damage without his ultimate. He has EQ while Xin has EWQ (which is 3 hits) and can pull off another round with the CD reduction. Xin compared to Riven: -Xin has more upfront burst and his damage is much more easily applied -650 range gapcloser vs Riven's 350 dash (if she uses Q to reach target she loses out on damage) -Xin's W also gives him more DPS than Riven -The only aspect where Riven beats Xin is her aoe and CC, Xin's single target damage is much higher
