I would have to disagree on the Nidalee running Teleport.
I was an avid player of AD Nidalee since season ~1-2, and still run ignite, even with the whole Teleport meta.
I was watching some of your stream last night pacov, you missed a lot of free harass opportunity on Irelia, but I'm not saying that would have made your lane all that much easier.
I've been in a couple Irelia vs Nidalee match-ups and even if I was fed (3/0/0), because it's Irelia and she has that massive gap closer and CC, she proves to to be an issue.
Anyone with gap closers and hard cc in general will be a difficult match-up for Nidalee, so you need to take any chance to harass that you can.
And in addition to the Hunt proc, you don't always need it in order to engage. Simply leaping in to E auto Q combo is sufficient enough in chunking the enemy, the only reason I'll ever need to land a spear or trap for the Hunt proc is if I need to gap close for a gank or for free harass.
Nidalee doesn't have too great of team fight potential in comparison to a lot of champions, so roaming midlane during lanephase for ganks would be advisable in addition to just pressuring top to pull the jungler top and alleviate pressure mid and bot etc.
But yeah, for Nidalee in general she's one of those champions where I'm hesitant on running Teleport, any other top laner I would prob run tele.
