^ Pointless comment, AP shaco is very useful in 3v3, where you can box many strategic bushes, gain an advantage in the jungle, where the reduced size of the map lets you harass the opponent much more efficiently, the increased distance between towers gives you more time to finish off the opponent etc...

Furthermore, AP shaco is much safer because his Q is only used to escape, so he can focus his stuff on damage dealing.

That being said, it doesn't answer my question: how do I build him for 5v5?

AD isn't enough in my opinion, you're too squishy and don't deal enough damage to justify jumping into the fray in teamfights, especially since you're using your Q to engage and not escape. The size of the map also makes roaming and ganking inefficient.

And AP shaco is just plain bad IMO in 5v5, boxes get blow immediately, people don't enter bushes enough to put boxes there, E doesn't deal enough alone to be reliable etc...
