^I played Shaco after the nerfs, for quite some time, actually :P

He's high-risk high-reward, and that's his flaw. If you don't like him being suishy, run magic resist/lv glyphs and buy items like Maw of Malmortimus. In the end you're still squishy, but nobody is going to think of 1v1'ing you. Shaco actually has a terrible early game. The only reason people think it is good is because he can set up boxes at his first buff and small camp. His skills have the lowest dmg of any moves I've ever seen, except his Q scales nicely and his R is not a joke. There's no reason for his E to do 50-210 base dmg. It should look more like 60-250 dmg. His Q starts out pretty weak, so you have to put lots of ranks into it for it to hurt.

2 reasons why Shaco hurts during early ganks-

His CC.

His passive.

If you're standing next to someone from the moment they see you all the way past them triggering your box, while they run, you're applying your passive and E, so they just get beat up a whole lot. Udyr has to actually use Bear Stance to get next to you, Shyvana with Red Buff is a good comparasin to Shaco, if only Shyvana hurt less, had stealth, and a Fear.

Evelynn needs CC in her lanes to gank them. Red buff and her passive do enough for her such that she doesn't need a hard CC. If you're using her ult to gank, then you don't usually have it for small teamfights, so I'd use it sparingly.
