He is actually a really strong splitpusher, and that's because of the following things:

-He is the BEST duelist of the game. Period.

-He can, if he properly hits his skills, clear a minion wave in about a second.

-He builds some attack speed and for the rest goes nearly glass cannon (he might throw in a GA), giving him a lot of damage even though he may not have a steroid (don't underestimate 25% bonus AD though. Endgame it'll mean about 60-70 bonus damage PER HIT).

-He can escape from nearly every situation if too many enemies come to try and stop him.

His only weakness is that he can't join up with the team. Compare that with the other ones you mentioned (who, by the way, can't join with the team either):

Rengar has problems against all duelists he can't instantly kill, for example Jax or Tryndamere.

Yi is a slightly worse duelist, as good bursts can kill him before he can kill them.

Shaco is squishy as fuck and almost needs to run from Soraka if that Soraka happens to be under a turret. In fact, he probably has to, because he'll get heal-baited...

Aatrox is only a good duelist if the enemy doesn't have ignite. If he does, Aatrox just dies.

And of course there's Shen too, who isn't really good at any of the above points (he can become a good duelist though with Trinity Force, as long as AD carries don't have a Last Whisper or the enemy is not a Zed, Udyr, or something crazy like that), but just joins up with his team with a shield, a hard cc and a lot of health, which alone is enough to make him a strong splitpusher.
