Leblanc's W is a dash and just that. It doesn't serve the same exact purposes that Zigg's W does. Usually you won't get bounced and knock someone up at the same time. But you have options to use that are varied and it goes well with E if you are roughly pursued. As it stands I can escape just about any gank with W. If I had a shorter cooldown on W it would be very difficult to get me out of lane because I would dominate it and the jungler wouldn't be able to gank me effectively either.

Very rarely do I see a leblanc use W as an escape because it's also used offensively which grants the jungler and the enemy laner much more of a chance to get at you because it will be on cooldown more often despite being shorter. Etheral chains could help if you land it. Most of the time when I see a Leblanc get ambushed or take a lot of heat from being overextended it's usually the slight confusion aroused from the passive that saves her.
