Greaves are rarely needed when you could easily incorporate more attack speed into your build. Before I got runes, my essential items on Yasuo were Shiv, IE, and Triforce because Yasuo scales very well with Zeal and Phantom Dancer doesn't give him as much as a Triforce could. The phage helps build flow and the sheen adds tons of damage to every other Q which makes Yasuo a remarkable fighter. Then building lifesteal/armor/magic resist for more survivability makes Yasuo hard to kill as well. Tabi or Mercs are good tanky boots, Swiftness boots help him chase, run, and build flow, and by that time greaves give too much AS since Shiv and Triforce already provide 2 Zeals, therefore they are unnecessary.
