It seems like a rather attractive item at first, but Ionic Spark is really only useful to champions that BOTH scale well off of attack speed and have trouble pushing properly. Shen, for example, loves Ionic Spark if he's building for Off-tank Bruiser, which is a very common build now. It allows him to splitpush far more effectively and synergises well with Ki Strike.

Shyvana, on the other hand, has great pushing and farming potential due to Burnout. A better choice for her as an item, in my personal opinion, is a Wit's End- not much difference in price, to my knowledge, offers a nice Attack speed bonus, and gives bonus Magic damage on hit AND gives a nice chunk of Magic Resistance.

Course, there's really nothing stopping you from building Ionic Spark if you want. Those are just my recommendations.
