Haven't done too much testing, but seems that top lane Shyvana is pretty strong right now with botrk. She wins extended trades against most bruisers because of high base damage on Burnout, and once she gets botrk she shreds health with her Twin Bite. I've been winning most match ups by starting cloth armor and 5 pots or red pot and 6 pots (or some combination of pots and wards).

Botrk and Frozen Mallet is pretty core, and the rest of the build you can just go tanky and you'll do surprisingly high damage.

Most melee champs can't fight her repeatedly because once they get close, she just sticks and can get at least a few seconds of Burnout off. Her lack of innate sustain is somewhat troublesome and she tends to push the lane but it seems to be a fairly solid pick.
