Try going Spirit of the Ancient Lizard (the AD jungle item). This in teamfights lets you burn all opponents with true damage. In general its the only damage item you need until late game. The best tank item is Ranuens and Frozen mallet, she needs anti kiting material. If you don't have either of those split push until you do or if your team is so far ahead it really doesn't matter.

In terms of counter jungling she is good but not the best in the game. The reason is that her 1v1 dueling is good but not as good as others. Lee Sin (probably the most played jungler) can duel you and can also escape you no problem leaving you stuck in their jungle. She takes skill with the counter jungling, try and time your invades.

What jungle shyvana's strength is is farming. Getting ahead of their jungler for the mid game. You should always run exhaust so you can gank and counterganking is pretty strong with her.

With items for top lane shyvana, tiamat is not a great item. She doesn't need anymore AOE, what she lacks is single target damage. Because of this I like to run her wits end. A dragon form q will fully stack its pasive on you if you hit 3 units with it (not too hard). Also since shyz does alot of magic damage it helps increase your abilities which is her major damge source.

Life steal is great on her but not essential. Dragon form q heals you ALOT of health back (hits all targets around her for aoe q damage, therefore 3 targets hit = 6 auto attacks worth of healing). BORK is the best item for this for her, again its single target damage + anti kiting active really helps her.

I hope too see more shyvana's out there. I main her and feel that she is really strong. Especially top lane against melee champs. Her jungle is still strong as always but heavy ganking junglers can rain on your parade abit.

Good luck all and hope you make Shyvana's name proud :)
