Ionic Spark is generally a sub-par item on most champions. Shyvana is one of the very few exceptions, as Dragon Form Twin Bite enhances Ionic Spark's potential - IS triggers every 4 hits, twin biting adds 1 more hit per nearby target, so if there's enough targets nearby, IS can proc 3-4 times Wit's End is a very common choice for Shyvana, but consider Ionic Spark: 1v1: WE: 52 x 4 = 208 IS: 110 In a 1v1 fight, it's obvious which one's better.

Teamfight: WE (Dragon form Twin Bite, 2 nearby targets): (52 x 2) x 2 = 208 IS (Dragon form Twin Bite, 2 nearby targets): (110) x 2 = 220 WE (Dragon form Twin Bite, 3 nearby targets): (52 x 2) x 3 = 312 IS (Dragon form Twin Bite, 3 nearby targets): (110) x 3 = 330 WE (Dragon form Twin Bite, 4 nearby targets): (52 x 2) x 4 = 364 IS (Dragon form Twin Bite, 4 nearby targets): (110 x 2) x 4 = 880 WE (Dragon form Twin Bite, 5 nearby targets): (52 x 2) x 5 = 416 IS (Dragon form Twin Bite, 5 nearby targets): (110 x 2) x 4 = 880 WE (Dragon form Twin Bite, 6 nearby targets): (52 x 2) x 6 = 468 IS (Dragon form Twin Bite, 6 nearby targets): (110 x 3) x 4 = 1320

Despite IS damaging only 4 targets at maximum, the damage ratio far exceeds WE the more targets Shyvana's Twin Bite can hit even with the limitations. No other champion besides Twitch (IS on Twitch is bad anyway) can do this.

IS provides HP, while WE provides MR, both have defensive stats to help Shyvana becoming tankier while dealing more damage. So if you want to be teamfight oriented, get IS, for solo dueling, get WE. Both items are good on Shyvana.
