with high armor 250 damage shield every 5 seconds is pretty huge until late game  i build shield then feint and believe me in early/mid game killing a support with -50% attack damage and 250 shield is hard  and hte number of times i just dashed into a 3v2 to let my carry escape and  managed to get  through a wall with feint after flashing out

and he doesn't need that much gear if you time right your CC its ridiculous:  spamming CC in teambattles is downright annoying for the opponents so they have to take him down first... good luck taking down shen if he's half decently played and thats not some CC! you can at least hit 2 champs with it in fights and for ganks... well the taunt is especially ridiculous on melees who follow you for 1.5 sec, bye bye running away with that every 8 sec (without any CDR)
