Hi there MTmind,

Im a Wukong player since S2 before everyone acknowledged how cool Wukong was :P.

Speaking from experience and opinion only, I think you should always max E in lane even if the Q is no longer 30% armor reduction at lvl 1. The main reasons being 2; mobility cooldowns and that incredible attack speed bonus. Simply having lower cooldowns on his nuking dash means he maximises his opportunity and frequency to jump onto his enemies.

Between Max E and 1 Q and Max Q and 1 E, the E setup will do more damage before laning phase is over with the exception of; Rammus. Malphite not so much since his click-and-get-more-armor has been changed. With Rammus, do you even want to fight a ball of retaliation damage in the first place..?

That said, sometimes you do NOT want to jump onto your lane opponent AT ALL (because they are designed to bully and win early game lane like Darius). If this is the case, max E anyway to help you waveclear if their strategy is to shove you into tower everyday. If they freeze the wave, Q is better because the reach helps last hit. Only max Q if you need help to farm under tower better with the single-target auto-reset.

HOWEVER, farming under tower is Difficult as hell with a max'd Q if you buy Hydra as your first item. I recommend rushing Hydra and that item doesnt interact great for last hitting under tower because it bruises mins you dont want it to bruise sometimes. Maxing E for AA-E-Q-Hydra Active combo will clear the whole wave so you dont have to worry about last hitting under tower. So, maxing Q means you'll be rushing Sheen into Triforce if what I've said is true.
