I get by fine with it on Mao(Twisted Advance is generally all I need for a successful first gank), but since Skarner is fairly point-blank like Udyr, as well as being highly aggressive in the jungle, I doubt he can get by without boots.
3.Shurelya's is an ult amplification item on Skarner, so yeah, you're right, its kinda core. So was Sheen, last I heard.
4.From what I hear, Skarner jungle is like Jayce. You don't really need all your skills. Ignore that heal entirely and focus your Q and Shield.
5.You've got one of the fastest clear times in the game, abuse this fact whenever possible. Know your opposition and take their jungle whenever they're on the opposite side of the map from you. With a strong leash on blue, this includes swiping their red out from under a blue-start slow jungler.
(You probably knew some of that, but I figured being thorough was better)
