This is a relatively old question, but since no one has answered it...

Yes. As a Fighter champion, Renekton can use Trinity Force's movement speed, bonus health, and damaging procs to the maximum. The damaging procs especially help Renekton push down turrets, since he can cast all of his abilities without targets (and each of Slice and Dice's attacks will charge a proc if spaced correctly). In an off-tank bruiser build ala metagolem, Trinity Force is a powerful item on any melee champion.

The problem comes when you look at Renekton as a burst caster. He's not a sustained caster, as his cooldowns are relatively long and he shouldn't feel urged to wait 2 seconds between abilities just for the damaging proc; he uses everything at once and does more only when each ability comes off of cooldown. Ravenous Hydra, being 500g cheaper, can knock Renekton out of his own Ruthless Predator animation if it is activated during the cast, allowing him to chain Cull the Meek and Slice and Dice while the target is still unable to move, as well as offering its own AoE damage, making it a far superior option for offense and sustain while lacking the health bonus and movement speed.

So the question is whether or not you're going to be building offensively or defensively, where in a significantly offense-oriented build you are better off spending the gold on different items, and in a defense-oriented build you are best purchasing it as soon as you possibly can before making major defense purchases.

If I were to save others the harassment gained from building like I do, I would say take the offtank bruiser metagolem option with Trinity Force. If you can put two and two together, have a decent awareness of the map, and your teammates are not losing their lanes faster than a gambling addict loses money at a casino, I would encourage you to investigate the maxpen farmtowin build I usually use:
