I've found that the safest way to use you ult is by using it before the teamfight and not in the middle of the teamfight. You use it faraway on the enemy team (best range in all the engages on the game, save Ashe arrow which is less reliable) to give your own team time to close the gap and to engage or you use it just when the enemy team is engaging on your team and you are at disadvantage. Using it mid-teamfight is much risky as it could mess up some spells or plays from your allies, there's also an higher risk to trap an undesired  target. Using it early before any spell or action has been taken allows your allies to know the field: they can decide what to do while knowing the state of the field: to retreat or to engage, and who they will engage, which target to focus. Mid teamfight, you could hinder some allies projects. You just need to tell your allies that you're goind to engage and you can follow by using talisman of ascension active. Pretty good when you're getting poked by their carries.
