Irelia, the unkillable tank assasin
irelia is strong in every way, shes tanky, deals tons of damage, and cc is reduced on her. seriously, riot should nerf her tankiness or her damage, and theres a reason she gets nerfed.

Bruiser is the word you're looking for.
And I think her biggest issue is that she's hard to CC while having a long CC herself. Although situational.
I'd say drop the CC to 1.5s. Lower it's damage, then return the damage plus a little when you stun the target.
It doesn't help your damage issue, but it makes her easier to deal with.
Could also make it a base 1s stun, increased to 1.5s when stunning a higher HP target. It's a buff and a nerf. Banurf?
Better nerf Irelia. xD she's been nerfed already, MOST people have stopped complaining because she is no longer a problem.
She isn't a tank, she builds items that make her into one. She does a lot of damage because she uses every little stat of triforce, including the mana and AP.
She really is a tank thou. Errr I mean brusier.... lol Riot Terms
Tank Assassin? Irelia is a Bruiser like Jax or Olaf. If you hate how she lanes, then pick another champion to go against her with. She has been balanced enough. A strong Irelia counter is Garen because he can silence her and deal damage back. He's a simple champion to master and I hope you consider it before coming here to cry demanding change.
I don't know about you, but I've found she has a terrible allergic reaction to Spin to Win.
knock ups

Have you considered that perhaps rushing Nashor's Tooth on Jax (instead of Trinity Force or Blade of the Ruined King) and not building any health or armor was a bad idea?
Their team was entirely physical damage (with a little magic and true damage here and there), so a Randuin's Omen after your first damage item would have made you very hard to kill and have slowed Irelia's attack speed.
