If you're building AS on Irelia and are running into problems with kiting, you would get those same problems if you built AD. The only difference would be your ultimate does more damage and you attack slower, and as such get slightly less healing and true damage off than if you built AS. None of her abilities besides her ultimate scales off of AD (I don't count Bladesurge because it's basically an auto-attack with range), and since you already get damage from Hiten Style it's just better to abuse that with more auto-attacks.

As those above me have said, if you want AD build BotRK and Triforce; any more AD than that and you risk wasting Irelia's potential.
