Rumble, Trynda, Lissandra, Irelia, Quinn, Kennen, Aatrox, Jayce, Ryze, Lee Sin, (Teemo), Vladimir, Rengar and Wukong (and the ones you mentioned; Elise, Riven, Kha'zix and Nidalee). Although they aren't really Fotm doesn't mean they aren't viable toplaners in SoloQ and they work extremely well even if not built full tank. The meta however requires a team to have tanks and most think that toplane is supposed to be built tanky but if your team allows it every single one of the champions mentioned earlier (expect maybe teemo) are good picks for toplane. Just because Riven is getting balanced doesn't mean that all damage dealing toplaners become unviable and it also doesn't necessarily mean that Riven would become unviable.
