I actually saw a Top lane Shaco last night, and I still jungle him some in draft pick if the enemy jungler is someone squishy like Yi, but even then you can only safely counter jungler until Yi hits level 6, otherwise he can burn through your clone and you with ease.

Shaco excels at counter jungling, mainly by stacking a few boxes near your camp then 2 shiving the buff wielder, drawing them into the JitBs and basically giving him a free buff, however that takes a bit longer than say, Nunu counter jungling by walking in, channeling ult, consume/smite simultaneously and look, 3 seconds and he leaves with your buffs.

Shaco can also be a very accomplished split pusher based on his clone also benefitting from backstab, because yes, you can backstab turrets. Let that sink in real quick. You good? OK. Once you get your static Shiv/Hydra combo, you are ready to split push for the rest of the game, basically a kind of lame AD Master Yi pre rework, but with a very fun playstyle as opposed to ult-right click-GG.
