The only CDR you want on her involves Ionian Boots or Brutalizer (Youmuu's). It works especially well early on because she benefits greatly from the added Ki Bursts and Dashes.

The stickler is Mercury's Treads; they are way too good right now, and Riven has only a few sources of CDR that won't lead into redundancies or wasted gold. It's the only item with Tenacity on it that Riven can fully make use of.

Apart from that, build the typical tanky DPS fare. Maw is especially good on her like it is on Renekton vs combo mages.
