Assassin doesn't really fit for Shen, we'd have to dismantle his ultimate in order to get him to be one. So, in order to improve his tank properties, I think the best option would be to attach an additional effect to his Vorpal Blade:

On each attack that Shen does on a target with Vorpal Blade debuff, either his target will be slowed, or Shen will be fastened up. This way Shen has a way to stick on his target, rather than getting close once and then drifting apart forever. This should be all that's needed to bring Shen back.

This and maybe the possibility to cancel his ultimate teleport by just pressing R again. I mean, his ultimate should be his ultimate trump card. It has a long-ass cooldown and isn't that powerfull itself in the early game. So the least it should allow him to is to freaking decide if he just wants to support his team with a shield, or if he also wants to join in. As it is right now, you are even taking risks by activating it: You have to leave your lane and maybe even die along with your ally. (Yes, I know you can flash to cancel, but that's just a waste, maybe even worse than accepting a death)
