This is quite debatable imo.

The Damage increase in Q is quite noticablwe, but the reduction on CD is nothing spectacular althugh you will notice the difference when you have no CDR. E gets good increase in minimum damage and CD gets reduced a good amount. However, it is increase in minimum damage and the mana cost also get increased.

Yorick has not that large mana pool, so you really do not get to actually use E that often. Your Q gives you damage boost without increasing your mana consumption. You could debate that E gives aoe to clear minion wave, but your walkers are quite effective that already.

If the slow on E would increase even slightly per level, I would actually consider maxing E first in some match-ups myself. But as of now, it is quite lacking. Q has lower CD and is more reliable damage and gives you better damage over time when fighting enemy. Lower CD also means better sustain.
