I believe concessions are in order. I was wrong about Shiv. Unless you are a god at micro and just walking+attacking in a circle just to get stacks it charges way too slow for me to consider it as a really good wave clear choice for a melee. The Crit really holds it back since now you need to itemize for that as well.

That said Tiamat is a lot better than I expected although it's upgrade really isn't a huge benefit imo.

Shen: Boots > phage > Aegis > Boots 2 (upgrade to captain when teamfights start) > Wit's > Tiamat > Mallet > Hydra if you need damage, Randuin's if you need armor, bulwark if you need mr. Order according to the game. Have fun all shen players, when you can. He still is pretty permabanned after all ):.
