You have to know how strong the enemy is at low health exactly.

After rushing Statikk Shiv, I start harassing the enemy with a Parrrley every 10 sec, after a few shots he is at half health, and I engage: I am faster and have the slows from passive and maybe Ulti.

But you have to consider the abilities; Does he have a shield, instant healing or something else? Gangplank can deal with one cc and burst damage, but rushing Parrley means glasscannon!

This said, there is another thing, baiting the enemy. Many kills I get because the enemy simply underestimates me, and he engages: I max w first, so for the fight I have 360 life more than it seems :-) When he sees that I outsustain him, he runs and gets a Parrrley in his back.

A level 5 w is as effective as a level 13 Barrier (summoner spell)!! Plus it removes a cc.
