Shaco's main duty as a jungler is to set your team up for late game.

If Shaco can feed a few ganks to the top, mid, and bot lane and then harass the shit out of the other team's jungle, he has done his job well.

I think we can all agree Shaco struggles a bit in team fights. But that's OK. If he can get a few thousand on the board for his team, he may not need to be there at all. Split pushing while teams are jostling for initiation on a team fight puts a lot of pressure on the defending team. Pressure creates mistakes, which creates openings.
