Basically, I like to build bruiser so I can DPS, while having some tank stats.

I just don't. I've gotten R7 Shyvana in the jungle and get consistent S's but I can't play with other people cause I have nightblu3 syndrome.

But in lane I might as well be a R1 Shyvana it always goes bad and I almost always feed. She just has such a hard time and so many other champs do her job in lane so much better.

Your build is a little pricey and its a little too damage heavy so if you get focused you will definitely die. I think the magic rule for juggernaut/divers is like 1.5 damage items and then the rest is built for survivability

I think the new triforce might be a good try on her, she likes all the stats (besides the mana) and the passives help her out

You could do that or botrk as your pure damage item but aside from that you should do pure defense

Bami's cinder /sunfire cape is a really strong 1st item

For magic resist I think I would go banshees veil over spirit visage, you don't have any natural healing in your kit to take advantage of the visage

I think my final build (in order) would look like this:

Sunfire cape Choice boots Triforce/botrk Deadman's plate (unless enemy ap is fed) Banshees (guardian angel, thornmail, whatever you need)

this makes you tanky as all sin and with the movespeed from triforce, w, and dmp, you can just dive with ult and sit on the back lines heads

I'm not a shyvana main or even a player, and I definitely think she's a way better jungler then top laner, these are just my thoughts on her

Lane Shyvana is bad in most matchups. She has no life steal and bad poke so most champions will outlast you and champs like Darius and Renekton will out trade you early. Look at her win rate on champion.gg for top lane if you don't want to take my word for it. You probably need to build differently for each matchup so I wouldn't put too much stock into a definitive build, though your build is probably as good as you can get for the most part. Champs like Rumble and Trundle I have found are very weak to a full AD build.

Buy movespeed and waveclear items, then counter the enemy jungle on top side. Buy lots of pinks and place one in your desired escape route before attempting to counterjungle. Remember that running smite in place of your typical escape summoner is very effective and you can substitute Sunfire with Cinderhulk. AS marks, armor seals, scaling magic resist glyphs, and movespeed quints (run AS quints if you don't have/like movespeed) 12/0/18 masteries with Grasp of the Undying or 18/0/12 masteries with Fervor of Battle based on your playstyle.
