The thing is I believe Shen support at worlds was similar to Nautilus top when it was super strong in season 5, as Jatt put it "The good thing about Nautilus top is that you have Nautilus on your team." Replace Nautilus with Shen and top with support and you get why I think Shen support was played at Worlds 2015.

Naut was played top cause it let you take a Thresh, Alistar or whtever else you want as the support, whilst having Nautilus on your team anyway. Similarly, Shen support let you have the power of Stand United, his taunt dash and the heal/poke of his old Q, whilst keeping top open for... you know. Darius. GP. Fiora. Rumble (albeit later on in the tournament mostly).
