I'd recommend a jungler such as Nunu or Trundle. Maybe Shaco, but to be honest he's losing viability (sad face).

You've listed tanky, fast, sustainable, and good ganking junglers so far. Nunu and Trundle excel at counter jungling so much it isn't even funny. They can simply dominate an enemy jungler - as is Nunu's main goal.

Other than that I might recommend Lee Sin or Xin Zhao or something, for their general "All-round"-yness. They do EVERYTHING pretty well really.

I don't recommend Shaco unless you have full runes and a lot of experience. Junging with Shaco is literally a science and the slightest thing can totally set off the balance (e.g an enemy champ simply walking towards your jungle camps and setting off your boxes before the creeps spawn).
My point is, Shaco has a ridiculous learning curve and you'll go through many rage inducing matches before you actually start playing him right.
Here's the jungle tier list

I recommend trying out any of the champs in tier 1 or 2 before going for tier 3 champs. You're more likely to have fun with them due to them having more overall viability.

I'm just warning you, shaco is either good or horrendously bad, there is no inbetween. If you sink the IP in him you have to sink a lot of time getting good as him, otherwise you'll have wasted your IP.

EDIT:
Shaco isn't the safest option. He relies on his Jack in Boxes early game which means someone running in or using an AoE like Lux's circle o doom or Maokai's sapling (with you aggroing it) will pretty much poop on your jungle with Shaco.

As for jungle Tryn. Though I love the champion and made a jungle guide for him. I acknowledge that there are currently better junglers. Tryn isn't terrible but you'll have a much easier time with Xin Zhao, WW, or Udyr.

Tryndamere is extremely fun to play, but only really shines when you have CrC runes.

I myself am a HUGE Tryndamere fan, and can't wait for his rework.

I have my own Jungle Tryndamere guide up which you might want to check out for more of the specifics - but he has INSANELY GOOD counter jungling and speeds (especially with CrC runes).

Tryndamere is pretty awesome in general, but he's extremely hard to play successfully, and his ganks aren't just Spin in and use W, you have to get the backs of champions. He's definitely one of the harder junglers but you can dominate an enemy jungler EASILY, he has so many amazing jungling tools at his disposal, it's a shame he's not very viable as it is at the moment.

Not sure what Trynd jungling is like WITHOUT CrC runes, but hey, he's cheap so he's worth a try!

Crit chance.
