I max Q first when playing shaco, followed by two-shiv. For the build, I rush Sheen followed by IE, with defense items as needed. The burst added on sheen really makes your Q hit HARD, and two seconds later you can throw your shivs to get another sheen proc. The mana cost reduction in Q makes it so you don't run out of mana very easily (since 90 mana is like 1/3 of your bar early on, reducing it to 40 is alot more manageable). By the time you get an IE and your Q maxed it will hit for 270% of your attack plus your base AD, resulting in a large burst of damage (usually over 300%), perfect for assassination. Honestly I find it better than getting 10% more miss chance on minions/10% more slow for maxing two-shiv first. But that's me.
