Well, typically you shouldn't have that many tanky champions in the opposite team. In ranked, it's usually just 2 offtanks or one pure tank/one off tank. The number of tanky AP's are so few you can count them on one hand and the tankiest AD carry is probably Urgot, who's rarely played much as well compared to other carries so such a team comp would be pretty rare, especially since the tradeoff of being tanky is usually damage.

But, if that does happen to be the case, the item you would replace Bloodrazor with would depend on what your team needs to do. Again, if they need you to tank, then Guardian Angel might serve your purpose better I feel, so that even if you jump in and everyone jumps on you, you still buy your allies enough time to do their thing with their DFG's/Void Staff's/LW's. But if you have someone like Rammus/Taric/Alistar on your team, you could simply opt for the Bloodrazor instead, since it IS supposed to be a tank killer. The thing is Irelia usually does well enough against tanks anyway thanks to her true damage, but if the enemy team has an all tank comp and you need to do damage, there's really no good reason not to buy Madred's on her.
