"But the Rage passive feels worthless when you can already speed yourself up with W, so at best I can see Trinity as a lane item now."

The Rage passive is probably one of the most attractive things to Shyv. W's boost lasts only so long, gets weaker as its duration nears end, and has a CD that doesn't scale down with level. The Rage passive would allow her a boost in speed on every AA with no cooldowns. That said, I'm not the biggest fan of triforce on Shyv.

FM was a core item for shyv in S2, she really needed that sticking power and randuin's active every often by itself wasn't going to have the same impact. The S3 changes nerfed its effectiveness so it's far less useful than before and while there's Bork active to help out, it's once again not as effective as S2 FM.

Phage needs an alternate build path leading to a new or altered FM.
