She's godly at cleanup after all the major skills have been used and people are fairly low, and also quite good at chasing fleeing enemy champions unless they have a flash type ability. It's a good idea to pick up some lifesteal and a Spirit Visage on her too, or at least a Spirit Visage, since it makes her ult and regular attacks heal her slightly more, while lowering her skills cds. Generally that means she's in the fight longer with more stun/burst on people. As for a build, I typically go Doran's Shield -> Sheen -> Boots -> Phage -> Merc Treads -> Zeal -> Tri Force -> Spirit Visage -> FoN/Sunfire Cape -> B Veil/GA -> Bloodthirster/Hextech Gunblade

Of course I'm not a super experienced Irelia player, so you can take my build with a grain of salt, but I like to build her tankier first, then up her survivability via lifesteal late game, albeit if you're doing well, you'll mostly just reach a bit beyond the SV as far as your build goes.

Godly at cleanup? Not entirely.

Pretty much anything goes after the two core items (don't build AP), although building her tanky is generally a good way to go.
