Because the 35 aoe dps is actually less because of magic resist. Assuming 30 mr (typical base not counting runes, masteries or items) it's actually 26 aoe dps which will only get weaker as the opponents build any mr. Add the fact that it costs 800 gold for the passive and 20 hp and you can see why it is useless.

And her w, e, and r all deal magic damage so how is a sunfire cape gonna make a difference when it comes to armor?

Moral of the story: Don't buy sunfire cape on anybody who doesn't use mpen. Shyvana included.
