It's still great for mitigating lane harassment, preventing DoT's from killing you, and if you're built full tank, 250 hp comes out easily to around 700~1000 effective damage absorption. I've had Feint block out ults completely because of how much armor and magic resist I end up building on a full tank build. Sure there are shields like Janna's, Morgana's, Lux's, Orianna's that you can throw on other people. But most people don't build nearly as tanky, and so they don't get as much relative damage absorption. Feint and Rumble's Scrap Shield have also saved me from skills like Ignite several times. I haven't been playing Shen lately, but they haven't up'd any of his energy costs. I rarely had energy problems before, I don't see it being a problem unless you needlessly waste his dash or spam both feint and vorpal blade whenever their cooldowns are up.
