Hmm i am a little confused by your question ^^ Do you mean full AD galsscannon with "just AD" or do you mean an AD focused bruiser build (aka tanky with a little resistances and health) in comparision with an AD/AP hybrid build, or did you mean the bruiser build with hybrid?

Well full AD glascannon is somthing i would not recommend. She is meele and has not an untargetable ability like Fiora or Master Yi so adc style is very risky.

So if you go for an AD centerd build always get some health and the needed resistances. (needed as in: mres if they have a lot of magic dmg and armour if they have a lot of physical dmg).

Also attack speed is very valuable on her as it synergises with her passive, lowering your q's cd, extending w's duration faster, getting more onhit procs from e and getting your ult up faster. If you have already bought that vampcepter you can turn it into an Blade of the Ruined King (ideally if your enemy is stacking health) and get a nice slow from the active. Other attackspeed items could be Wit's end, staticc shiv or zephir (if you need tenacity). However i have to experimant a little in this department ^^

About your Hybrid question: Shyvana is actually by nature of her abilities hybrid ^^ She benefits form AD with her AA, her q, and her w scaling. However w deals magic dmg and is your main dmg source, and her e and ult also deal magic dmg but scale on AP, (but e on the other hand gives armour reduction). So you probably should focus on AD to get the most out of her AA, q, and w and the armour reduction, but if you decide to go for somthing like sheen or have baron buff, the Ability power is not wasted.

I play her AD centred but i have to confess that i have not tried a real hybrid build (or even AP centred) with her. However if you want to be more mixed dmg you can build AD but then get socerer boots to strengthen your macig dmg output while still dealing physical dmg with your AAs making it difficlt to itemise against you if you are one of the major threats on your team. I think hybrid penetration marks would be awesome, but they are pretty expensive, so i have no access to them to try this out.

I hope i could help you, althogh my knowledge is limited (see attackspeed choices/ Hybrid build) and i would apprecate it if someone else here could add more information :) Oh and i hope it is not too much of a wall of text ^^

And most importandly: Have fun with whatever you do :D It is a game after all ^^
