When you're a tank you can't have a "build" set in stone - you build according to your team's needs and your tanking needs. is an exception because it works well with Shen's splitpush playstyle and helps him clear waves faster. Thornmail is very situational - you should always prioritize because it makes your initiation, dueling and sticking that much more potent.

Don't go for Abyssal. Just don't. No need to buy AP on Shen in general. If you want a mixture of MR and damage works better because it also synergizes with your passive and the magic pen passive is stronger.
