You are going Guinsoo's Rageblade, building Attack Speed and On-Hit items.
Thanks to Guinsoo's Rageblade, your On Hit effects are gonna trigger two times every third Attack.
You are gonna play Carry for your team.
How to play
Build On-Hit items!
Usually Guinsoo's Rageblade is not good first rush. Get it as #2 or #3 item.
Your first item should be adapting to enemy team:
If they have tons of HP stacking bruisers/tanks - go Blade of The Ruined King.
If they are super magic damage heavy / CC - go Wit's End.
If you want to become more tanky - go Titanic Hydra.
Since it works well with you champ, you can go Nashor's Tooth as well! It gives you nice On-Hit effect, some AP and also boosts your abilities. With this, you can build some AP (for example, you can get Zhonya's Hourglass as defensive option) or even benefit from some support buffs that give AP.
You could get Statikk Shiv for fun and wave clear, but it is more difficult to use it as melee champion. Beware!
Otherwise, you can get Kraken Slayer.
You need some time to ramp-up your damage (runes, items etc.), so position well and keep auto attacking!
Remember to use Titanic Hydra active! It deals additional damage and also resets auto attack timer!
Tips and Tricks
Champion
Scalemail (Passive)
Assists counts toward Scalemail (Passive) stacks. So don't just look for kills, being present in fights pays off.
Emberstrike (Q)
Emberstrike (Q) is auto attack reset, so try weaving between auto attacks, i.e. AA -> Q -> AA -> Q.
This maximizes damage output. It is especially important to push turrets faster.
Inferno Aegis (W)
Inferno Aegis (W) shield scales with number of nearby enemies. For example, it is usually better to use Inferno Aegis (W) after diving into enemy team with Dragon's Descent (R), rather than before.
You can use Inferno Aegis (W) before taking portal or frost-gates. If you time it well, it is gonna expire mid-flight and explode, dealing damage to the enemies on your path during travel. Especially effective, if you are playing AP #champion build!
Molten Burst (E)
Always fire Molten Burst (E) from fog of war, bushes or at least pretend that you are looking into other direction. This way you can hit enemies more easily.
Dragon's Descent (R)
You are unstoppable during the transformation, you can't be CC out of it anymore and you can use it to counter incoming CC as well.
Aim THROUGH your targets, not at them. Dragon's Descent (R) breathes fire on enemies below and fears as you fly through them.
Remember about the angle. Enemies will run away from you after the fear, which means they'll run toward your team if you ult correctly from the right angle. Otherwise, they will run away.
Dragon's Descent (R) is affected by Ultimate Haste - you generate more fury.
Dragon's Descent (R) can work as peel too, not just engage/burst tool. If you have good carry on your team you can consider keeping it for them in fights.
Use the fear to chain your full combo.
Shyvana Combo
R -> (AoE fear) -> empowered E -> Q -> Q -> true damage Q
Riot
Shyvana's abilities all benefit from attacking units. As a result, Attack Speed items are more valuable on her than most champions.
Flame Breath is great to level-up against difficult lane opponents.
Burnout is an ideal choice for jungling. Monsters will be hit by the full duration, and the speed boost improves her ganking potential.
It can be valuable to purchase one of the items that can slow enemies: Frozen Mallet, Dead Man's Plate, or Entropy.
