shen makes a fine support tank, this was the origional design on his kit in the first place. in fact this is how most tanks were used in season 1.

your taunt and ult protects and sets up your carry, your feint lets you soak damage and make close calls/risky plays. your vorpal and ki help you give your carry some damage support during a fight. vorpal thrown onto seige minions for your carry to attack ect can help keep them sustained too..

your build just needs to differ slightly. getting an aegis should be one of your first major items as support shen. avarice blade and lucky pick will take care of your gold.

other then an atmas, i wouldnt really bother with damage items as support shen. randuins, sunfire cape ,aegis into bulwark , merc treads. an abyssal scepter will provide mr, slightly improve your spell and sunfire damage and the damage of your team , plus the ap will buff your sheilds and ability damage.
