Correction, yeah, Darius' scales on bonus AD as well. But how is building an Ice Fist (which is AP) on Darius not a waste but building SV on Riven according to you (Cliffshadow) is? Icefist and Frozen Heart aren't common on Darius at all. Randuin's Omen is usually the better go-to defensive item for Darius.

BC is a very common item on Riven. LW is definitely better on ranged ADCs but Riven benefits better from all the stats on BC (CDR, health, arpen, and damages) and the armor reduction passive is applied to anyone who receives physical damage and since Riven's skills apply AoE physical damage...

Masteries (5%), Lucidity (15%), BC (10%), Spirit Visage (20%, although there's word this will be nerfed to 10%), and if the matchup permits it Runes (6 x CDR Blues = 5%, leaving you with 3 free blues still).

Just Lucidity + BC and Masteries gives you 30% CDR already. 30% CDR means Riven's 400+ shield will be up every 4 seconds...

Tenacity is always a nice stat to have if the enemy team is stacking a lot of hard CCs (i.e. stuns, fears). As already mentioned, slows don't really effect Riven's mobility as harshly as other champs. And typically most hard CC champs are magic based so you're typically going to want to get some MR/health (i.e. Spirit Visage = more CDR than Lucidity) on top of your Mercs.
