^It is, actually. Glass cannon character with a very poor escape/shield mechanism? Uh, yeah. Triforce is excellent on Riven.

The extra AP, health, movement, attack speed, crit, slow and Sheen Proc (which she can abuse CONSTANTLY) more than make up for the two dead stats from Sheen. Besides, she benefits directly from just the component of Phage. Stacking pure AD just turns her into a scrub-fodder glass cannon with NO escape mechanism (the dash is too short, the shield doesn't last nearly long enough). Gangplank, she is not.

Of course, Riven still needs AD power STAT. So I say get your blood thirster/black cleaver first, then Brutalizer, then go for Triforce starting with Phage (and delaying that build for a Banshee's Veil or some other hate item depending on the enemy team).
