Probably not quite as good as he is in the lanes at the moment (sadly : but he is serviceable. Main strengths is that he has ridiculous clearing speeds and among the highest early game DPS. Don't expect to get a lot of kills in ganks unless your teammates have tons of CC to cover the lack of your own or your opponents are stupid.

Cooldown reduction is the single best stat on him and items that give a lot of it and some resistances or health are his best friends. Frozen Heart, Spirit Visage, Spirit of the Ancient Golem, etc.

If you're doing well, his best offensive items are mostly ones that give him mobility or take advantage of the healing and lifesteal boosts from W. Youmuu's Ghostblade, Blade of the Ruined King, Ravenous Hydra, etc.

Can't give you a comparison between him and Shaco, I've never played him.
