Nearly all 'Fighter' types require Tri-Force cos it gives them all the overall utility they need to survive and deal damage. If you've noticed, majority of the Fighter Champions here have access to both AD and AP scalings. SO depending on their skill sets, they could go either AD, AP or a bit of both. Tri-Force is viable for almost every Fighter (and Assassin types) in the game right now, it's almost like their crux item and often many builds revolve around it, especially for Fighters that use MP for spell usage.

Kayle, Jax, Irelia, Hecarim are but just a handful of Fighter types that have access to both AD and AP scalings. Only a few Fighter types like Diana have only one type of scaling. Since it allows you to dish out from reasonable to nasty damage output even with defensive items, it is very handy.
