Riven can't really use Philo stone because of the wasted mana regen and can't really use Avarice Blade because she uses abilities and a non-critting autoattack bonus, lol.

You should, when playing her, trade with EQQQW as fast as you can if you cannot win with retaliation. At least, I'd say so. As a Riven main I got quite some experience, and even though I'm sometimes not sure what I use when, I always win my trades.
