Um, he deals rather high damage, especially in the early game, without building any damaging items. His "OMGWTFBBQ" blades in my face every 4 seconds makes laning against him somewhere between hard and impossible and he has the only global teleport in the game, giving him frightening map presence. He's basically the best bruiser in the game, absurdly strong in all stages of the game with no clear counter. Add in AoE CC and the fact that he's manaless, and it's easy to see why people might want shen to be toned down a bit.
