Tips for Playing as Vel'Koz with Irelia
Be very careful about when to use Life Form Disintegration Ray. Many champions have abilities that can interrupt the spell.
Shooting Plasma Fission diagonally and splitting at maximum range allows you to hit opponents that are out of the range of the initial missile, but is more challenging to pull off.
When laning, use Void Rift to kill minions while building stacks of Organic Deconstruction on your opponent. You can then follow up with your other abilities.

Defiant Dance is not interrupted by crowd control, try timing it for incoming disables.
Flawless Duet does not have a maximum travel distance, try using it in creative ways.
Use Bladesurge to cover great distances by targeting low life minions on your way to champion targets.
