Shyvana Top vs. Shyvana Jungle

Right now Shyvana top has a very low winrate at only 44%, however Shyvana jungle has a quite high winrate at 54%. What causes such a large gap between her roles? I know that sated devourer can be very powerful on her, but are there other factors such as weaknesses in lane that the jungle removes? What could be done to buff Shyvana top without breaking Shyvana jungle?

Her burnout was nerfed pretty good and reworked so that it was more powerful against jungle camps about a year ago but less powerful against champions. Her high clear speeds allow her to actually build devourer while still being strong enough to pressure lanes so she is the ultimate powerfarmer. She has a tough time against top laners with life steal/regen build into their kits (renekton, nasus, darius, garen, etc.) unless you trade a lot early to minimize that advantage. Plus some of the other top laners like Darius and Fiora have become somewhat of a nightmare to play against so some of the mediocre top laners look even weaker in comparison. I honestly don't think you could buff her to be comparable to the top laners (as it would make jungle shyvana broken) and find it more likely that they will just continually be nerfed over the next year or so until they reach her current state. Or an item comes along like red smite that allows her to go back and forth between lane and jungle to outfarm the opponent.

She has no CC outside the small knockback on her ult so she has to basically outstat you in a fight. She has no built in sustain either......so.....yea.
