Be good to see what other runes you could find out that may work? Like domination?
The difficulty with moving away from these runes is that they provide the clear speed that you need in to make Shen an effective jungler. The precision tree is essential to make this work. If you are going to swap runes you could really only swap the secondary tree. Resolve would be the obvious go to. I would run Conditioning and Revitalize in that case. Although I haven't tried it, you could run Domination with Ravenous Hunter and Sudden Impact. Like I said though, I recommend using the runes listed for the attack speed.
Aftershock is a great rune on support Shen, but there are two main problems taking it on jungle Shen. The first is your early clear speed. The biggest challenge with jungle Shen is keeping a decent clear speed early. When you take Precision with Inspiration it gives a 21% attack speed bonus (18% from the trees and 3% from alacrity). It doesn't sound like a lot, but in practice it makes a huge difference. Secondly, if you are comboing correctly, Aftershock's bonus armor and magic resist is useless. Poping your W gives immunity from auto attacks. For an early invade, this is usually the only damage that a jungler has. Aftershock then ends at the same time as your W expires. Therefore you really only get the damage. Looking at this raw damage output, Press the Attack gives a much larger bonus and the armor reduction will help you deal more damage after your W and empowered Q expire. The problem is that if you see an invade you have to be the aggressor. If you taunt them and do a full combo you can easily win any early trade. I have destroyed a Xin Zhao when I had half health. The trick is ensuring that you begin with an empowered Q for the bonus attack speed and damage.
Your thoughts are good, but if you use this build you shouldn't need help from your laner.
Hope this helps :)
