If you feel you don't need that much armor, you could sell IBG for Trinity Force. If you feel like you won't have problems with the 10 less MS, selling boots for Zephyr can be a choice (you'll lose 25 MR, but it shouldn't be a problem with Banshee's and Wit's End).

I'd suggest you try Stalker's or even Skirmisher's (in a guide, it's hard to distinguish between sentences that are always true and simple preferences of the writer), since you don't really need Trailblazer when you have a medium-fast clear speed.

Maybe you'll want to go with Randuin instead of Thornmail (even if shield-reliant, a heavy bruiser needs at least 3000 HP IMO). It will probably become even more important after its rework (15% bonus AS for every enemy hit by its active is beast on someone like Skarner).
