I haven't kept up with Irelia and only started using her not long ago. After looking at her patch notes, its true that she's gotten more nerfs than buffs, but they don't seem like the worst in the world. All her skills were made slightly weaker. But there were also some small improvements. Cast range, some ratios. A bugfix or two.

And yeah, for Hiten Style the health recovered was chopped in half when the ability is not active. I can see how it might feel shitty after having been accustomed to the old version, but coming from a less biased perspective it really doesn't seem all that bad at all. So now you're getting 13 half the time (about, or less with a little cdr) and 26 the rest of the time. That's still rather good. And the skill isn't too expensive to spam. Especially if you grab the philo, which will make you even more secure in lane. Sell that crap after 13 minutes for a profit, too, no big deal.

And her fighting capability is as good as ever. She may be a little weaker than she was at release but this is true of a large amount of characters. So, whatever. She's fine.
