If you're getting a leash it's best to start with Excessive Force. You need to learn it early so that you have two charges available before starting the buff. When you cast E you gain a buff for 5 seconds while also starting the cooldown for the next one. So at 1:50-51.

The reason you start E over W is because you won't need W until you are clearing the next buff (you hit level 3 after wraiths) and the AoE will increase your clear time. Remember that precasting E is also beneficial moments before a gank to get that next charge up sooner.

E > Q1 > Q2 > auto(E) > auto > E > auto until OOR > R

Huge. Damage. Also I'd recommend buying a Brutalizer/Black Cleaver after a Doran's Blade instead of Golem/Spirit Lizard.
