Warwick is the best jungler you could start with to learn jungling, fast, safe and consistent jungle, his reason for being tier two is the fact he can not gank until level 6, his ultimate should guarantee if the team making the gank is competent.

Shaco on the other hand ganks at level 2, which takes away from the fact that pushing early is fine, a shaco gank is also extremely reliable, w/o his ultimate. I wouldn't make shaco tier 1 I can see why though, if you gank jungle and take his blue buff, you'll either kill his attempt to jungle or make him lane, both give the team a great advantage.

Udyr has a similar problem, but it won't cost him nearly as much time to do it w/o the blue buff, Udyr has a consistent gank, in that if they're at river level escaping from him is at the very least going to cost an escape summoner spell, tiger and bear stances are rather potent, stunning 1 second in 6 and keeping right next to them with the speed with great damage, however it's down to his teammates really to make sure you pick up two kills.

Nunu is probably the best single jungler, with massive survivability, and he can pick his normal starting items if done right, he's not dependent on taking a buff either, his dragon kill is comparatively slow though.

Bottom line, there's always something to sacrifice in picking a jungler, you have to make the decision for yourself, but that list is tiered with the priority of speed and survivability, ganking and sustainability are 3 and 4 on the list which is where WW excels more than 1 & 2, WW's pathing is also rather good, because you can jungle w or w/o smite and start at any camp really.
