It's basically the same as fighting Riven.

Shyvana gets all of her moves for free, out-bursts you, and has high mobility, so you need to hold out until you can out-sustain her in the lane, Try to bait Burnout from her so that she shoves the lane with AOE, dodge her fireballs, and don't let her close to melee range under any circumstances. Just last-hit under your tower and call for ganks from the jungler if possible (Shyvana doesn't have a good escape until she is level six).

Irelia is extremely good at getting CS under her turret, so you should be OK. I would reccommend taking a point in E early so that you can stun/disengage when you need to. Eventually, you'll have your Phage, level 5 Hiten Style etc and Shyvana won't be able to stay in the lane against you anymore when you go in to harass her.
