Magic pen is for passive, Q, E, and sunfire cape. Other than that you build mostly tanky.

For exmple, early core being boots+Phage+Giant's belt. From there you get based on what your opponents are getting. Straight damage? Mallet, Blade of ruined to counter health stacking? Sunfire (either way one of these two items will be bought first, the other second probably).

Other good items are, Randuin's, Spirit Visage, Blade of the ruined king, wit's end, and Runic bulwark.

Just choose one attack speed item.

If somebody else on the team already got bulwark you can go get visage (though double bulwark is amazing). And randuin's is mostly there because it is your best manaless armor item for Shen due to it's passives and actives. Oh and the hp that is attatched to it.
