You won't be throwing a Q exactly every 3 seconds because typically the enemy won't let you. Just throw your Q more often than not and you should always have spare for Shadow Dash. The 3 seconds when your Q is on cooldown you are regaining energy. In the jungle for example (even with a little cooldown) you can throw a Q, hit for 3 seconds, wait one second to throw another Q and only be down 10 energy (depending on your timing and the level of your Q).
