AP Shen is amazing. You're best off building this way if you have a primary tank to rely on, allowing you more freedom in your build.

Doran's Shield -> Mercury Treads -> Rylai's Crystal Scepter (Start with Giants Belt) -> Chain Vest & Negatron (Get both immediately, but whichever one you need first depending on enemy team composition) -> Finish Zhonya's and Abyssal Scepter, decide which one you need first -> Rabadon's/CDR (Whichever you like, CDR is nice for reducing your now powerful Feint and Stand United).

Let your main tank initiate 5v1 style (make sure you DPS/AP aren't far behind though) and use your now +1000 damage shield ultimate on your tank when he begins to receive the enemy teams focus. This will usually result 7/10 of the enemy team's cooldowns being blown, now sweep in as the new tank, taunt as many as you can, let your team clean-up in your window of burnt cooldowns.
