I use the same combo, but rock teleport flash instead. Xerath is not about actively killing people, because after your combo, your cqb is crap. I simply farm it up in laning phase. His range is good enough where you can 2 shot a minion wave from safety, and if the opponent wants to counter you, they have to risk being an easy kill from the jungler. Additionally, this means your ult will always be up in case they try and dive you, because risking 1.5 second stun + tower aggro + burst is suicide for anyone. In teamfights i make every attempt to unload my combo into the most important member of their team, then hide off in brush or through walls and provide sniping and occasional stuns. I prefer to do this when the xin or corki is nearby, to make sure that assassin doesn't shank my ass and leave my corpse in a ditch before anyone knows what happened
