In 5v5 battles, I almost always turn it into an instant 5v4 with my W,R,E combo. Tanks are all repositioned or take a BRUTAL beating with W.  This really messes with their team fight. Squishies will really hurt with E and Q.

Just like any other caster (or any character for that matter), he needs to have backup to fight a team fight (duhh). If the team can protect him for a moment, he will turn the tide REAL fast.
