Sunfire cape is OK, but I'll be honest with you, it doesn't blow me away. You are basically paying 800g for the 35 magic damage passive, since Sunfire is only barely better defensively than just picking up a Chain Vest and Giant's Belt. I would personally prefer to just spend the extra 465g and just get a Randuin's, which is superior defensively, plus gives you an active that you can use to prevent people from kiting you around (and it murders AD DPS carries).

Phantom Dancer is whatever. The bonus MS is nice, but there are better options for AS, and Shyvana doesn't use crit as well as a carry, because she never builds an IE. I would rather have Triforce if you want the AS/MS/crit combo, since it also gives AD/HP and a big damage passive.

I don't like Madred's on Shyvana. Bloodrazor is for tearing down people who build health, and that's the job of your carry, not a bruiser. As Shyvana you should either be peeling for your team's carry, or jumping on the enemy squishies. It's OK, because Twin Bite procs the on-hit effectively, I just am not a huge fan.

Good defensive items for Shyvana are either Randuin's (anti-carry), or Guardian Angel. Force of Nature also a good pick against a double AP team, esp since it provides movespeed.
