Trinity force, eww. He doesn't need the burst on damage after using a skill, better make that zeal into a PD. My opinion is that you need lifesteal also, it can save your life some times, and Stark's is a nice item for that. Warmog + atma's is a no-no, unless you're a tanky yi. Better leave that for champs like Jax, I'd rather go for Mallet. Your runes should give you enough armor and magic resistance, and the black cleaver should be situational (considering you have armor pen marks? You MUST) but it isn't a bad choice either (if you already have a stark's, it's useless). A nice choice instead of a Trinity for Hybrid Yi is Gunblade, as someone said in another comment (Gunblade replacing atma's) IE is overkill considering the damage you're already doing with his passive plus Wuju Style, but hey, whatever nets you a quick kill huh? Mercury's are AWESOME on him. If they're focusing you just cast meditate and let your teammates go for the kills, that's what a good Yi player should do. My playstyle is based on dps + slow and a bit of survivality, considering you get your cd's reseted when you get a kill, or half with assists, depending more on Wuju + Highlander rather than an alpha strike that does naught damage and is only useful for clearing creep waves. Also, Starks helps your team survive longer clashes and lets you heal if you're facing, say, a fed Trynd. That's all my opinion, I mostly suck at melees but Yi isn't that hard to use (but requires some thinking to master)
