Shen has AP ratios, his ult is 100%...Shen as an AP tank is really good
Wot. Hell no, shen is meant to be built as a Pure tank, the only AP item that I would even consider on shen would be a Rylai, Innate doesn't work with AP anymore..His Q will deal more damage I agree, but remember shen will be squishier with AP items as opposed to pure tanky items. 2.5 seconds of a uber AP shield, wow..so good O.o? His ultimate shield is lifesaving even without the AP, remember that the main use of the ultimate is to get to the player to help him, not just o shield.
Honestly if you build AP tank your damage wont be scary, you will be squishier and... the build up isnt that good.

Thus the reason you stay away from AP items that don't give durability. The items not only give durability and AP, they also give beneficial supporting "abilities". The slow from Rylai makes catching up easier and the MR reduction on Abyssal makes your casters deal more damage.

People say to me that a person being a helicopter is Impossible and I’m ****ing ******ed but I don’t care, I’m beautiful. I’m having a plastic surgeon install rotary blades, 30 mm cannons and AMG-114 Hellfire missiles on my body. From now on I want you guys to call me “Apache†and respect my right to kill from above and kill needlessly. If you can’t accept me you’re a heliphobe and need to check your vehicle privilege. Thank you for being so understanding." - Guuse

As I mentioned, Rylai's is the only item I would even consider on Shen, abyssal..nahhh let a caster or support carry it.
Searz, Ive seen your shen games you dont carry AP items :3 (good!)

@Dante:
Abyssal is an excellent durability+AP item. Although situational, still excellent.
I see denial of evidence. :P

It's about whether you want to be offense support or defense support. That's the main difference between a tank who defends and a tank who initiates. A straight tank Shen is great at defending, but will give very little offense support in a team fight. An AP/tank Shen (With Rylai's, Abyssal, maybe Zhonya's) will still be able to soak up damage while also being able to change the outcome of a fight. Most tanks can be played either way.
An example:
This is a defensive build, this Shen is not going to initiate very well or be able to deal any significant damage by doing so.
This Shen will be a good initiator, because not only will he deal the sunfire damage (increased by the MR reduction) but his allies will deal more magic damage also because he has an Abyssal Scepter. He will also be able to slow fleeing targets with his vorpal blades because he has a Rylai's.
(ignore the funky item order)

Exactly. It's not like I'm grabbing those items every game..
@Da Bard
Both builds are lacking Randuin. It's pretty core on Shen.
"I saw [Twilight: Eclipse] in theaters with a girl I was dating at the time. I spent more time staring at my toes and wiggling them than I did watching this abomination. When Edward proposed to Blank Face, I finally looked up with a revelation.
I blurted out loud, in a dead silent theater full of teenage girls on opening night "Wait a minute, Edward has no blood flow. How does he get an erection?" I heard several men laughing, and had several girls turn and stare at me.
I did not get laid that night." - Berengier817
