A bonus for Irelia is her true damage plus being able to heal herself while attacking anything hostile (including structures). Her escape/chasing abilities are not as versatile as Riven's (my opinion), especially if you need to escape from a teamfight/gank. Her "flash" (Q) requires an enemy to be used, but, on the other hand, can be a good gap closer through minion waves.

Riven, on the other hand, has 4 "flashs" at her disposal including one shield and 3 AoEs plus knockback. Riven's the perfect champ for hit'n'runs, if you ask me.

Overall, I would say:

f you want an offtank, get Irelia.

If you want a manaless melee AD (carry), get Riven.
