Shyvana is so immensely good, her jungle is a little less than her top lane, but if your lanes have any sort of cc it certainly makes up for her rather poor ganking ability. I tend to rush Ravenous Hydra on her, mostly before I buy boots, it just gives her even more clear, DPS, and pushing power in-lane. I mostly buy mobility boots for jungling to enhance her ganks followed by a Spirit of the Ancient Golem. In-lane I skip the Spirit of the Ancient Golem and go straight up to my Randuin's, making her an amazing duellist and teamfight presence. I continue on with tanky items such as Warmog's, Frozen Mallet, Sunfire Cape (although I don't like it too much on her, but EVERYBODY else likes it). If my team wants me to have some more damage I just get a Trinity Force. I reckon a Blade of the Ruined King would be very good as well but I have yet to try this. I tried to build Wit's end but I really did not like it, since most top laners nowadays are AD and I just don't like the item in general.

If you play her properly, you can easily 1v2, atleast that's what my experiences have taught me... You really need to learn to utilize your Hydra and Randuin's to the max, it's key to being a good Shyvana and divides the good ones from the bad ones...

For the rest, I take Flash for an emergency escape or to Flash and ult in the direction you came from. Teleport is always an awesome choice since she's SOOOOOO good at pushing. Teleport allows her to splitpush even more and just shred those towers with your Twin Bite. For masteries I mostly grab 21/9/0 or 9/21/0 if I need to play defensive, but I have yet to find a real counter to Top lane Shyvana. I don't really have any specific rune page dedicated to Shyvana as I only have 2 rune pages, so I just use AD marks and Quints, Armor seals and Magic Resist glyphs. If I had another rune page, I think movement speed quints or armor penetration or something would be good too.

Wow must be the first time I typed such a long opinion, hope you learned something from this, Shyvana is my main champion and I absolutely love playing her! I have about 50 games played with her (I know it's not that much) and I won about 45 of them. And I'm not kidding...
