Maxing W first is just superior to leveling Q or E. The only instance when i would max E first is when i get destroyed in lane and have no chance of fighting anyway.

I usually go R-W-Q-E because i like the utility of the dash and it gets a crazy short CD on higher levels. But leveling E second works as well.

Also Gauntlet is an option when you cant afford Triforce or you need the armor or the CC.
