Shyvana cannot outdamage Darius in early, unless he goes like trading with AAs only. Shyvana's poke is also underwhelming, if anything, use her ranged ability to farm safely rather than poke and rely on scaling onto lategame. For Nasus - avoid picking him for this matchup, it's just barely managable to win.

The best way is not to picks melees, but if you prefer to, take up a safe sustain tank or any pick that will not suffer from having limited gold income. As Krufix listed, Mundo and Shen are relatively easy to go. Aatrox and Zac aren't as good as it, they just cannot keep up at some point, but can be taken if you can afford at least a single gank.

You can try out Yorick or Mordekaiser, too. Most Dariuses will lose their mind just from seeing them.

The best way to manage such lane is having a jungler ready to gank at least once per 3 minutes. Lots of Darius' players will push like crazy, so it's not a big deal to do.
