I agree with ProtonZero: Warmog would be much better for such a staggering amount of gold. With Ionic Spark, Wits End, Aegis of the Legion, and a Trinity Force that leaves one item that would have to be situational and personally I prefer my Shen's to not be shredded by the ADC because his build only gave him 18 extra armor and 770 extra life. Top it off with a Thornmail and you'd still be a little low on life for a shen but that might help. If you bought something else without armor you'd feel the pain for only having 105 armor.

This is of course not adding runes/masteries to the mix, but I'm sure you catch the jist of it.

Most of the Trinity Force's awesomeness is wasted on Shen anyway, especially with this build. That sixth item you bought could only make up for one of the deficiences that the Trinity was losing for either lack of AD or AP. But after 10,245 gold plus your boots and any consumables... Well, it's more likely that by this point the enemy team should have been put down long ago.
