How will you get 40% CDR on Shen? He doesn't have healing anymore so Spirit Visage isn't as good, Frozen Heart gives mana and then you're left with awkward AP, AD and support items. Locket works though, but that's only 10%.

He can't refresh the shield by autoattacking with Q, you have to hit them with the ability. And his passive only works once per ability, meaning that it doesn't matter how many you taunt, you'll only get the passive reduction once. Which means that you can never totally refresh it with a single ability.

And if you somehow manage to get 40% CDR on him by buying lots of weird items, then that's fine since you've sacrificed so much for it. Since you're not getting the best tank items you'll be lacking in resistance and health, meaning that the shield isn't as good as it can be anyway. And honestly, even if you can use your Q all the time, it's not that scary. It's an auto attack modifier on a melee champion, and for it to be really good you have to hit the ability as well. Even if it gives him lots of energy (not as much as you might think though, since he has 400 energy instead of 200, thus have higher costs) he can't do that much with it since his W and E has long cooldowns.
