Manamune on Sivir
So, awhile back, I asked if Trinity Force would be decent on Sivir. Unfortunately, I had people say that it wasn't a great idea to do so, and going for a standard adc build was better.
However, I still want to find a way to counteract Sivir's extreme mana hunger. Yes, there is Essence Reaver but it doesn't return alot of mana unless you have quite a few items built. That, and since Sivir relies on her abilities to push, of which Essence Reaver doesn't proc off of, it isn't that useful on her.
But what about Manamune? The only two champions that really use this item are Jayce and Urgot, since they too are extremely mana hungry. But what about Sivir? Yes, it would have to be rushed since it needs time to build into Muramana, but with it, at least come late game, Sivir could quite possibly be a force to be reckoned with (not to say that she isn't already).

Sivir doesn't have any great on-hit effect spells (besides her first hit of Ricochet, which has as much range as an AA anyway) like Ezreal's Mystic Shot.
Secondly, Sivir doesn't stack Tear of the Goddess too efficiently like Urgot and Ezreal can, her cooldowns are relatively high compared to these champs.
Lastly, from what I've experienced I'm mostly good on mana with just Essence Reaver on her. Essence Reaver also offers some lifesteal and CDR in one item which benefits Sivir very well, while Manamune/ Muramana offers mana, an AD boost and a strong on-hit effect. Sivir doesn't benefit from on-hit effects too well and she'll miss out the lifesteal, which is a must on pretty much any ADC.
I'd say just get Essence Reaver instead of Manamune, it synergizes her way better.
Well on the self-peel part you are right but you aren't considering some situations. Let's say you are chased by Fizz and you could run away with a bit more movement speed (due to his jumps and stuff). Once you get a significant lead whilst running away from him he can't use his Q on you and reduce the distance. Also the self-peel works wonders against those who only have one jump engage ( Kha'Zix).
Against burst you'll take Bloodthirster usually
When you need self-peel you take Blade of the Ruined King
If you don't need either, you can take Essence Reaver :p
