@Myself and Srorburd

Take a step back for a moment and breathe, I have some shocking news for you. Both of you are right in your own regards, and neither of you are completely correct.

Yes, the 2% max health change was pretty major, half of a bloodrazor for free is nothing to sneeze at, but the 15% armor pen that she had before was better for fighting people like Zed, Talon, and the always dreaded Jax (at least before people figured out that Randuin's is crazy strong). Shyvana can actually build a lot of damage and get away with it to a degree thanks to her passive and the effect her ult has on it, that's not to say you should go full retard and build her glass cannon AD, but building something like Hydra, or FM, or BotRK is totally acceptable.

Play styles will vary, Shyvana is fortunate to be a hybrid damage dealer, which means a lot of different things. For starters she can build just about anything and get away with it. Mana is one of the few stats that she cannot use at all. Armor, MR, Lifesteal, Movespeed, Attack Speed, AP, AD, Penetration, Health, On Hit, Anything basically. For example, I play Shyvana as a Hybrid bruiser, I do fairly well with her by grabbing Randuin's, Wit's End, Warmog's, Atma's, Sunfire Cape, and Frozen Mallet, while my friend builds her with AP and AP effects, like Rylais, Liandry's, Wit's End, Deathcap, Sorc shoes, and Warmog's.

Both styles work fairly well, it just depends on your playstyle, and that is just 2 of the posibilities.
