To the original question: nowadays I stay away from wit's end. Its a great item on Irelia. Gives her AS, more on hit dmg, and increases your MR by dueling (making it really cost efficient, i think). The problem comes on the other effect. Reducing MR of the enemy, while great on other champs, isn't so good on Irelia, since she uses E for the stun, not the dmg, and thats ur only sourse of Magic Damage (not including the on-hit itself). I myself prefer to use Spirit Visage, and rarely Maw of Malmortius (VERY RARELY). SV just complements her kit better as nothing is wasted. Ofc rushing it is out of the question, but if you need the MR badly get a negatron cloak, or maybe even the Spectral's Cowl (or something). My opinion to rush vs Vlad is BotRK, and on Rumble the same or Triforce. Rumble and Vlad you counter iirc. Jax is another problem. I don't think Wit's will do you much good vs him. Could do well, but since most rush BotRK or Tri then their main dmg is AD, so in the end, the best to rush is HP.

As for The5lacker's comment, ignore it. Irelia is one of THE FEW champs who's main sourse of dmg scales purely on AS. Just to clarify, her W with 2.0 AS does 900 true dmg  and with 2.5 AS does 1350 true dmg. Not accounting her base AD, nor her Q's (u can do 2 if u have some cdr) Which give a grand total of 1.5k true dmg. I wanna see anyone WITH A REGULAR BUILD, reach this amount (vayne doesnt count since her tru demg depends on the enemy, and not on her)
