What would you build to maximize damage with tankiness still being priority

Titanic + tank items I guess If you wanna dip into a 2nd offense item, you can throw in a Rageblade or something. Based on what I've been hearing lately, rageblade is the new bork
Edit: Testing it now, rageblade doesn't feel all that great. I'd think I'd still suggest bork over it. Titanic too if you want a little extra
And @ PapaGreg, I still stand by titanic as an item choice. It's a fine item even without devourer since it synergizes with her kit fine on its own. The waveclear isn't always the main reason people buy the item
The extra auto gives her stronger burst even as a tank. Makes her teamfighting a bit nicer too Shoot out an e, turn on W and then auto + Q + hydra and Q should be off cooldown soon You get an extra burst of on-hit bork, w and e damage whenever the active is up

i agree and im feeling like titanic will give the most single item dps to a full hp build or am i wrong here?
You should only be building titanic if you go devourer as it synergizes with the passive. Otherwise you don't need the waveclear because of burnout and there are better items for her specifically. You want to build Randuin's for sure because you need the active as a form of soft cc. You probably will need merc treads. Prioritize health over resistances as your dragon form gives you free resistances. I would suggest building at least one damage item as you don't have any CC and need to be doing something other than soaking damage in fights (maybe Black Cleaver or BOTRK). Deadman's plate should definitely be in your build as well.
Back before titanic and sated were introduced I used to go:
then situational items. Warmog's was my go to, but if I needed more armor I'd go Frozen heart and if more MR was needed or I needed to shrug off a vital enemy spell I would go with a Banshee's. Haven't played her in the jungle in a while, though. Might be fun to go back.
Also, if you want to try it you can go with exhaust for your second summoner. Once you're six you can jump over walls with your ult for a decent escape or a surprise engage and having lower damage, armor and move speed can really be the nail in the coffin for some ganks.
I personally always went Blade of Ruined King and Black Cleaver. But Cinder Shyv was hit pretty hard when they nerfed her W plus the repeated nerfs to Cinderhulk itself. What was once an awesome build has been overshadowed by the poorly designed devourer.
On Shyvana, you definitely want an attack speed item so I would suggest BotRK if you're not getting devourer. But if you want to focus on being a hard tank, Wit's End is also good on her.
obviously wits end to get mr take away mr and get attack speed
I honestly just grab Devourer before building tanky. The following build works pretty well for me.

Using Fervour of Battle for additional on-hit damage, this build works pretty well for me.
