1 point in W at level 2 or 3, free pulse charge and free mana regen in lane, on top of being a nice finisher that secures kills. Max Q, E then W. If there's a lot of early teamfights, you might want to put points in E, your single target DPS doesn't go down but you'll deal more damage overall because you are shooting in AoE.

I take Magpen marks, mana or mana regen/level seals, 7 CDR/level blues and 2 magpen blues, and MS quints because spellvamp isn't interesting enough.

Many people take MR since you are going mid, but the passive is enough to survive IMO, I hit something like 29 magpen+10% with that runeset and sorc shoes, meaning I deal almost pure damage to my opponent which makes up for any AP runes I could build.
