Play tankie dps and join the ranks. You will do fine.
Shaco is now just too squishy and has been nerfed far too much from his release.
Shaco main here. My advice is to not play him in lower elo since everybody there is usually spamming tank junglers who counter him pretty hard. Don't get my wrong, you can climb with him if you're good. It's just a lot easier to pick something simple that can hyper carry in lower elo since that's what everyone is doing.
Like pick jax, yi, amumu, or voli for lower elo and once you get out of there and start seeing a bit more variety you can start learning him and cheesing enemies
As an avid shaco player id advise u not to play shaco in ranked. hes quite simple in terms of abilities but the real skill comes from how u use his abilities not the abilities themselves. like one of the other commenters said u should most def play tanky type junglers unless u have some pretty dope mechanics on how u play shaco. just think of him as lee sin, lee sin isnt difficult to play at a basic level but in order for him to be all around good useful and make a true impact on the game u have to have lee mechanics. sorry if im rambling.
Don't bother playing him in lower elo as the other posters have said.
To carry with Shaco you need to shut down the other jungler, which means you need good vision control and map awareness which is not very common in your rank.
However if you do want to play him I'd suggest getting a bit tanky instead of going glass cannon. Titanic Hydra + your jungle item is pretty strong for you along with a Deadman's which makes your ganks a bit better.
Shaco's strengths are ganking and counterjungling but he's very squishy, has mana problems and lies in between AD and AP scalings kinda like the old Poppy.
As far as jungle enchants choose either 
, 
, or 
depending on the game and how you feel like playing.
But yeah the only way you'll be able to consistently carry games is shutting down the enemy jungler early and snowballing off kills you get ganking.
Late game you're not that useful unless you have enough damage to one-shot their carries.
