If you level W first, you can clear the minion wave in 5 seconds, then go steal red buff/double golems/gank mid/steal Wraith. If you level Q first you don't have a good speed boost and you won't deal a lot of damage.

On most champs, yes, you don't want to push a lane; however Shyvana is all about farming everything everywhere as fast as possible. Furthermore W outdamages Q until you get a high amount of AD (which doesn't happen until you reach ~lvl 11 in most games), meaning W really frees you of having to defend your lane and allows you to roam the map to farm enemy jungle camps.
