Not a stupid question at all. The meta in 3 vs 3 is not amply discussed but as it stands the place for bruisers, or metagolems as people would call them, is solo in the top lane. I think she would be outclassed by the current tier 1 top laners (Jax, Tryndamere and Lee Sin) essentially because her ability to dash through walls is in the form of her ultimate, unlike the other three. However she does have what is required from the top laners: strong farming abilities in order to push the lane and go take jungle creeps and control the buffs.

Of course I'm not sure at what level you're playing, but yeah, Shyvana is a viable choice.
