The important thing about nasus against someone like shyv is that whilst nasus has excellent sustain, he can't poke effectively. His abilities all drain a lot of mana whilst shyv wants to spam her abilities as often as possible.

Its entirely possible for shyv to lose a lane against nasus (I've lost as rene vs singed once) but its simply harder for her to lose, the most important thing here is how many times each jungler can successfully gank. After 3 or 4 kills, nasus can easily survive against a shyv.
