I don't jungle with Shyvana, so I most certainly wouldn't know about counter-jungling, but what I do know is that Shyvana is a melee champion that benefits greatly from attack speed, as much as Nocturne, Xin Zhao, Tryndamere, Renekton, Irelia, Master Yi, Gangplank, possibly even more than any of them. A 40% bonus(which you get from Wit's End) is not nearly enough. It's not enough for someone like Xin Zhao who gets a hefty passive ATS bonus from one of his skills, not to mention on Shyvana, who has no such benefits.

Warmog's Armor and Atma's Impaler are what I use too, but Frozen Mallet should most certainly be replaced with Trinity Force, because it gives many benefits that Shyvana needs. Sure, not as much health, and the on-hit slow doesn't always apply, but the increase in movement speed works awesomely to reduce kiteablity and the ATS and passive that applies after Twin Bite gives you assassin-like burst damage. Regarding Wriggle's Lantern, yes, it's a wonderful item for jungling, but mid to late game it becomes useless and underpowered and you should sell it for another item that gives life-steal. I'm referring to Zeke's Harbinger, most awesome item that will makes your ATS close to 2, giving you the ultimate killing power(especially with the armor reduction effect for your opponents).

@Extended: Dude, you have no idea what your talking about. Shyvana's main attribute should be ATS, so Shyvana should be a champion that attacks all the time relentlessly, or else why would she have that passive? What do you play Shyvana like? A tank? She's an off-tank so, since she's so sturdy and hard to kill, that means she should always be in the action and if she does that why not auto-attack the hell out of you opponents and keep those stacks up? Plus, this is made to be an off-tank build, and he doesn't have neither Force of Nature or Banshee's Veil or even Aegis of the Legion or Guardian Angel. Have you ever seen an off-tank without magic resistance? Wit's End and Mercury's Treads are what counter those annoying mages who otherwise could kick the hell out of Shyvana's but, even with her high health. I swear to God, some people really don't think when they say or write something. Anyone that doesn't acknowledge the importance of ATS on Shyvana is, IMO, a noob that doesn't have the slightest idea to play this champion. What good would an Infinity Edge do her is her ATS is 1? Really? High AD is worth squat if you can't dish it fast enough. That's why AD champions are called DPS(damage per second). Next time before posting something try to think about what you're saying...

Update, after reading your guide more carefully: You say that if the game goes on too long you change your Wriggle's Lantern to Bloodthirster. Wrong...I have experimented a lot and found that Zeke's Harbinger is better than Bloodthirster on Shyvana and certainly better than IE, as every self-respecting auto-attacker, even one so tanky as Shyvana, needs life-steal for better sustain during duels and team-fights. Zeke's Harbinger is better because, like I said, better to have high ATS than high AD. The AD from Atma's Impaler and Trinity Force(which I use) are more than enough for Shyvana, as she deals a lot of magic damage too, from Burnout and Wit's End. Shyvana isn't a melee DPS like Xin Zhao or Master Yi. She's a hybrid, but a very special one, which doesn't benefit from AP like others( Jax, Akali, Kayle). This is the reason she's so unique. I looked at the stats at the end of the game and the difference between the physical damage and magic damage that I had done was minimal, the percentage was almost 50-50, this is why high AD and crit chance are not optimal for Shyvana(doesn't mean you shouldn't build any). Doing both types of damage is what makes her harder to counter, as an opponent has to build both armor and MR and using Thornmail won't be as effective.

Build look ok skill and items are as i play it but the only thing is "what the hell is with
s end" get a dmg or more tanks item. wit's end is a good item who hit all the time, who can keep those stack up like kogmaw, ww (with ulti free 200 dmg) or master yi who is alredy fastest. but for your it is better to get end game itme something like trinity, BT, phantom or defence item depends on the other team.

not sure if u are aware of this but you cannot max any skill by level 8. The earliest you can do is level 9. A skill level can only be upgrade if you level is at least 2 times the skill level minus 1. So a level 4 skill can only be learnt if you are at least level 7, a level 5 skill (maxed) can only be learnt at level 9.

Also you really need to explain what item to start off with. Your cheat sheet says first item to get is Wriggle's Lantern surely you can't get that at 475 gold. I know what you are trying to say built into it but a new player reading this would go wtf.

Ideally, if you were trying to counter jungle you would pick up skarner or nunu, but other than that you're build is roughly 14k~15k so it would require you to receive a lot of farm or kills. Try to cut costs on your build. I also suggest you add a section where it shoes Shyvanna's strengths and weaknesses with junglers such as warwick, udyr, skarner, nunu, and olaf. There is just way too much missing.

cheers for this I will go into more detail for specific champs.
