I'm assuming you mean a top-lane build, because this sucks in the jungle because of no lifesteal.

Not a great build. Cooldown reduction isn't amazing on Shyvana, because it doesn't work on her ultimate and you can reduce the cooldown on her Q just by attacking faster (ie, you buy Attack speed). So get rid of the Ionian boots, and either get Merc's (MR and CC reduction) or Berserker's (max DPS).

Mallet is fine. Core item on Shyvana. Aegis is questionable. It's a good item, especially midgame, but it's better if your support handles it, and you don't need two on your team. I'd say situationally worth it. Rylai's is terrible on Shyvana. She doesn't have sufficient AP scaling, and it's too hard to get the "good" slow, because you can't be in Dragon form. Atma's is good, although it will be less good after this next patch. Warmog's only after Atma's, but I personally think that Frozen Mallet + Atma's is sufficient.

Cleaver is questionable. The shred is nice and Shyvana stacks it easily with Twin Bite, but it does nothing for her magic DPS, which she has quite a bit of.

You may want to consider a Bloodthirster as a late item. AD + lifesteal is hilariously good on Shyvana in a teamfight. Also, Wit's End is worth your time as an early item, even after the nerf coming this next patch. Synergizes extremely will with her kit.
