You shouldnt build a melee champion who has no burst without sufficient defence. You cant just pop out at right moment and trow your spells and die/get away happily like Zed or Talon. Yi's source of damage is autoattacks, nature of AAs is in being consistent, endless. So you as Yi your actual damage scales with your lifespan and not with just damage items. And in 5v5 teamfights you wont deal any significant damage without defences for the reason of being dead. Currently i run Ghostblade, Randuins, IE, Spirit Visage/Runic Bulwark combo. Last item could be BT, Frozen Mallet, Atmas or whatever, and sell Ghostblade for PD if game drags. The point is - you have enough damage to kill squishies, you have enough tankyness to dive into whole enemy team or go toe to toe with bruisers.
