Yay did some number crunching but it is not necesary. Yasuo's source of DPS, his bonus crit chance, isn't as strong as it is.

think that every 1% of crit chance means a 1% increase in DPS  (1% chance to deal double damage) So itemizing 45% crit chance (IE and Statikk) equals 45%bonus to yasuo, or simply a 22.5% bonus DPS. Then his ult gives him 50% penetration to bonus armor, which will never exeed around a 40% increase in DPS against tanky targets.

Yi in the other hand gets a 80% from ult. which means around a 50% increase in DPS. His passive deals 50% of his ad every fourth hit(12.5% increase in dps) and every third after the first proc(16.7% increase), his E passive gives him 10% extra AD (raw 10% increase in DPS) and his E active 30+ 20% of his AD.

All this bonuses stack multiplicatively(1.5*1.67*1.1) so for yi so the answer is obvious. Aside from that yi's DPS steamrolls after a kill.
