His biggest problem is horrendous clear time. With his dash he is hard to pin down and kill in the jungle, but provides virtually 0 buff control because faster clearers like Mundo and Udyr will just steal his jungle creeps all day.

Still, he can be viably played in the jungle because ganks are extremely strong pre-level 6 due to his taunt and ascend to a whole new level once he gets his ult. Hell, just HAVING Shen on your team is such a huge advantage that people will play him in the jungle despite the drawbacks.
