Jax
Jax can seriously screw you if you do not approach carefully. His E can block your auto attacks like Shen but also throw a stun onto you, which is Shaco's biggest weakness. Once stunned, his damage can destroy you if he is built toward that sort of thing. Try and avoid unless with teammates.
Items
Berserker's Greaves I would rarely take these out if I were you. They provide even more attack speed on top of Statikk Shiv which will be needed to perform lightning fast kills. Unless you are dying a lot and need to trade them out for Mercury's Treads or Ninja Tabi then stick to these.
B. F. Sword Generally as I stack up my Poacher's Dirk, I will have enough extra gold from kills / monsters to buy an Infinity Edge. This sword is an early boost to your ganking potential and can be used for that Infinity Edge or be saved for your Duskblade of Draktharr.
Poacher's Dirk This has been a great addition to Shaco's arsenal. It saves you a good amount of gold and earns you extra gold from the monster kills. I've been able to build Infinity Edge and Duskblade of Draktharr while holding this item.
Infinity Edge When you buy this, it is really the beginning of your landslide of huge damage. The unique passive makes your Backstab all the more deadly and throwing in a Statikk Shiv can add in more sustained critical damage.
Statikk Shiv Like said, try and buy this after Infinity Edge to make your crits hurt bad. However if your Poacher's Dirk is fully stacked and you can't afford an Infinity Edge then just purchase the Statikk Shiv First. Statikk Shiv throws in attack speed with painful aa's derived of your former items.
Duskblade of Draktharr This item is a HUGE necessity for Shaco and by all means cannot be replaced. With Shaco's Deceive providing stealth, your Backstab crit gaining the 50% additional damage along with the +200% Lethality will basicaly 1 shot any squishy targets.
Warlord's Bloodlust Can be taken as well if you'd rather have a bit extra sustain with the sacrifice of some of your burst potential.
Attack Speed is a big part of this build and the bit of extra attack speed can certainly help.
2. Greater Mark of Attack Damage:
As attack speed is important, making every one of your aa's hurt is a necessity.
3. Greater Seal of Armor:
Protection against ADs.
4. Greater Glyph of Magic Resist:
Protection against APs.
