I've fished the shaky head some, and have caught fish on it. I think it works best in rock structure or other relatively weed-free areas. I think the primary difference between shaky heading and texas-rigging is that the shaky head allows the worm to stand more vertical.
I'm not completely sold on it. I've caught fish on it, but I don't doubt I could have caught the same fish on a t-rig. I shake my t-rigs anyway. Honestly sometimes I tie it on so I only have to deal with one piece of hardware instead of a bullet weight and worm hook.
I'm more interested in the wacky rig with nail weight in the head to get the same stand-up effect. I see that as having more potential.
