The following build has been working amazingly well for me those days :

Tabis  / Early stinger / Phage / Direct into FM if lane is a bit screwed, or rush Zephyr / Finish the other one / Black Cleaver (ulti proc is priceless) / GA / Situaltional late game item like spirit visage or mercurial scimitar , or even hydra : as i said, situational always.

Really good at all stages of the game, besides the fact that u have to care for your ass early on and just farm massively and safely. On the other hand,  CDR, provided by BC and zephyr, is a MUCH underrated stat on irelia in my opinion : being able to dash a ton more in teamfight is really a great asset as people wont be able to follow (eventually focus ) you easily, and your hiten style will be up noticably more often. Not even talking about the fact that you can easily abuse your ulti to farm more and more, pushing lanes like mad and getting your overall sustain a lot higher.

As for those who, like me, were not convinced at first by removal of trinity ( which is still perfectly viable instead of FM if lane is ok ) , and by the add of BC on a true damage champion : The four procs of BC done by your ulti on them all Five adds a ton more DPS than you could ever do with your hiten style's true damage in a 30 seconds teamfight. Really.
