Pretty much, I think Rick needs him, at least for the time being until he starts loosing his humanity (if he does).
Shane is in full blown survival mode, worry about yourself and if the other live too then that's a bonus. He does what everyone knows they SHOULD do and does it without thinking about the reactions from the rest of the group. The problem is that the rest of the group, and all of us with a conscience, still think there is room for civility in a post apocalyptic world and have a hard time accepting his actions as the right ones. That's why he seems like such a bad guy.

That...and he keeps trying to steal Rick's family.
