Second poster, a few things.

First, Shyvana is totally not an AD caster. AD casters are champions which utilize their abilities that scale with attack damage and lack autoattack scaling to further encourage building more attack damage to focus on their abilities. Shyvana totally is an autoattacker.

And people tend to use the term "bruiser" as a "DPS tank" or "tanky DPS". Garen and Nocturne are not bruisers because of their CC. They are bruisers because building both durability and damage works well on them (and their melee range likely requires them to use both). Shyvana is pretty much the same, she just has even less CC than those two's fairly small amount of CC already. Honestly, she has more durability than Nocturne - she's even more suited to diving for an enemy squishy in the back during a teamfight since she's more likely to actually survive it.
