Pretty much the above. Try to avoid spamming both your and, or you'll risk running yourself out of mana and also reduce your damage output. You only need your shield to approach faster to close the gap during a gank. Once you start slowing them, don't use your shield anymore unless they use Flash or another escape, so you can close the gap again. Also save your shield if they turn around and fight you, since you'll be beefier and hit faster, meaning more Q's.

If you're feeling especially skillful, try timing your Slashes so that you use it just as the slow runs out to reapply it efficiently.
