DPS shyv is good, but in that case you should not be the one to engage, so you need to make sure someone else can do it for you in your team. You are also very vulnerable to kiting with this build, since your survivability depends on how much you AA; so if there's an alistar or Janna support you are going to have a bad time.

You need a teensy little more HP IMO if you even want to stay alive in teamfights. I would get the giant's belt before zeal. As TheOddOne once said: "there's no point in hitting twice as hard if you die three times as fast"; Shyvana needs some time at melee range to deal her damage, and since she has no inherent survival in her kit (except for the free resistances on ult) you need to comensate for it in your items.
