What makes Shyvana dangerous

Shyvana powerfarms to her item spikes, gains permanent resists from dragons, and her ultimate transforms her into a dragon — diving in with a knock-aside and raining AoE flames. AP builds one-shot squishies with the dragon E fireball. She appears from fog and deletes someone.
