Irelia's actually a very strong laner. Just level your W in lane, and when enemy goes to harass you, stun, W, beat them up, win. As for builds, I'll just mention some items that I consider very worthwhile. Philosopher's Stone is very good early game, especially since Irelia has non-trivial mana costs, so it gives you much needed health regen and mana regen and it's a 5 gold per 10! Trinity Force is very strong on Irelia. All of its stats are quite useful on her (even AP since her ult has a great ratio). Frozen Mallet better than Warmog's Armor as Mallet will give more AD even with Atma's and a very good slow. Wit's End is an excellent MR item on Irelia, as she has fantastic synergy with attack speed thanks to Hiten Style. Atma's Impaler is a natural choice once you have Frozen Mallet, and Maw of Malmortius works well with her strong low-health fighting capability. Mercury's Treads are SO worth it on Irelia, having 61% CC reduction in teamfights makes you an unstoppable carry murdering machine.
