It's not only against 1 champion. It's against critical strike champions in general. The passive might be unbalanced and maybe there should be a champion with a crit reducing ability instead, but honestly, if you get past 35 minutes Trynda and Yi can kill a tank in the matter of 5-10 seconds even if he has tons of armor and Thornmail. Not that it is that big a problem, since some other champions can do the same, but those champions also push towers like ****, they are kinda faceroll and they get that strong even if they aren't that fed. (At least that's my experience)
Hmm, but the Yi's I know go on Lifesteal and not on Crit^^. Or they go on off-tank. The Item himself could make some champs cry(sad GP, sad Tryn, sad Ashe, sad Crit-AD), but who focus tanks? The tank only gets more ignored. I don't say, that the item is useless, but it lacks a bit on Team Support. Maybe you could build in a little Aura?

That item... makes no sense. From a health item, and a cooldown item, you get the ability to negate critical strikes...
Just buy a
Thornmail.

o.O Did you use Randuin's unique active? That would have shut him down hard coupled with Frozen Heart and Thornmail...
All you need to do to counter Tryn is some CC. Stun him before he can endless rage and he's useless.
Ignite also works. What about
Exhaust? A simple
Wither would render him near useless, Nunu's ice block of doom would slow him to a crawl...
It's very easy to counter Tryn, and it sounds like this item was specifically made to counter him when he's not that big a problem :P
If you screw over Tryn's early game, before he hits level 6, he's just screwed.

But still very costy, so I think it's balanced.
