There's two good strats to take into account with the current meta when playing Riven in my eyes right now.

First i have to note, 90% of toplaners will rush quinsoons and be op, so riven will be slightly weaker than these champions if she cannot prevent them from aa-ing her, which can be tough.

There's two good masteries for her now, I'll start with Fervor of Battle, get yourself tanky-cdr instead of pure ad-cdr with armor pen runes. Get BC and then health-armor items or health-magres items next. You sometimes will want merc treads instead of lucidity here. Get a Death's Dance for your lifesteal item.

The other good mastery for her is Deathfire Touch. Build her full ad and cdr as normal but, max her e and poke enemies in lane *and* in long-fights taking advantage of the lower shield cooldown to abuse the 50% bonus ad Damage over time effect while minimizing your own damage taken. Use cc defensively here unless an easy kill presents itself. Any application of q or w(not auto attacks, but yes windslash) will apply deathfire touch.
