W is maxed last, you get a point at level 1 to jungle and that's it. Unless you are going AP shaco or you choose not to build Razor (both of these reasons are pretty stupid), you max boxes last, because all it does is increase the damage they deal. Usually you max E first, because the slow increases with every level, allowing you to gank harder; then you max Q because crit damage and Statikk. Some people like to up both Q and E et the same time and that's also a legit way to do it.

You have to play shaco extremely aggressively. Steal buffs and gank lanes. All the time. You should be farming the small camps AFTER you ganked a lane, if you are in the enemy jungle, or if all the lanes are pushed and you are waiting for them to reset (or if your team can't seem to capitalise on the lane advantages you provide).

As soon as you hit level 3 with red buff go gank a lane. Doesn't matter if you actually get a kill or force a recall; shaco usually manages to deal damage before the enemy flashes away, so you usually give the HP advantage to your laner. Gank top, gank bot, gank mid. Ninja gank and avoid wards using decieve through the walls, if you force a recall go farm a camp and gank again as soon as they respawn to crush their morale. Gank from your side of the jungle, their side of the jungle, and the river. Gank them under their tower and in the middle of their lane. Ward the enemy buffs and steal them with a smite+shiv before decieving away. You have to be dealing damage to someone, doesn't matter who, doesn't matter if it actual HP damage or just handicapping their XP/gold gain, but you should be punching faces every time they are within decieve range.

Remember to put boxes all over the river as long as you can spare the mana and don't need the cooldown: these free little wards are usually enough to prevent a gank or two. As soon as you get wriggles, buy a pink ward, wait for enemy jungler to go top, de-ward dragon and solo it with your ult.

If you don't know what to build go Wriggles->mobility boots->Statikk Shiv.
