Okay, I'm about to tell you the biggest secret to using ulti effectively as Shaco... you bind the Alt-Move command to MB3. This one change alone will increase your clone micro by 110%. The rest is practice. Clone will always be slower than you because of runes / masteries (it doesn't benefit from them).

Also, Shaco isn't made for team-fighting 5 v 5. You need to use yourself, clone, and boxes to break up the enemy formation. Bait an important enemy into chasing you (tanks / bruisers love to do this). Don't be afraid to use clone just to scout ahead, it's CD is only a minute or so, it'll be back up in time. Using Hallucinate doesn't break stealth, so you can also Q/R near the enemy back-line and send clone near them (not into them, it'll die) and then try to get them to chase it while you are safetly out of sight. You can also abuse the clone's ability to blink back to Shaco upon reaching his leash distance. Fighting 1v2? Use ulti and divide the enemy, only to have the enemy chasing the real you wander into a box right as clone blinks back to you and your other abilities come off cooldown. It's now a 2v1 in your favor. ;)

Boxes aren't in the best place right now. If you're ganking a lane, remember to attack-move along side the enemy, dropping a box in front of their escape path (if they're retreating toward tower). Also, remember Pink Ward's trick of having two boxes directly on top of one another if you fear getting jumped by a Rengar (or some-such champion), as the two boxes' fear will / should override the enemy's dash / jump / dive animation (they are CC'ed before they can complete it. Aatrox dive is a good example, as he's feared out of his dive animation).

A final word of advice - stay away from Riven. Just don't go near her. Just don't.
