Hmm, I prefer the second build much more. I feel like too much tackiness is a waste on Irelia. Her purpose is to deal damage and kill people, not to tank them. (her hit is that of a carry) Sadly, glass cannon builds are doomed to horrible failure when facing experienced players, so you should go just as tanky as you need to survive the fights, and then go for damage. Randuin's Omen is a tank-oriented item, just like Frozen Heart. I prefer items that make you durable but boost your damage as well, like Wit's End or Frozen Mallet or Atma's. I'm not sure whether Frozen or Trinity is best on her though.
