So...this is all to say that you want Twitch buffed?

Personally, I dislike champions who innately apply Grievous Wounds with an ability or auto-attacks. Yes, it makes them (slightly) unique, but the desgin basically says "this champion will beat another champion in a duel largely due to the latter's life steal being hindered". It's essentially Ignite on a much shorter cooldown, minus the true damage of course. And yes, ability damage is also involved, but auto-attacks are usually what counts most (and where the Grievous Wounds comes into play). In line with all of that, Expunge already does huge amounts of damage, so I really don't think it needs buffed, especially since Twitch's damage is actually quite burst-y and hard to deal with if you're a squishy carry.

I'd also say that Venom Cask doesn't need base damage (and scaling) because it already adds 1/3 of Deadly Venom's max stacks, which deals true damage on its own and sets up for a decent Expunge. To add base scalings, and especially AD scaling, would only increase Twitch's already high damage output and burst capabilities.

I apologize if it seems like I'm just bashing your suggestions, that's not my intention, I'm merely thinking critically. In my experience against Twitch, a player who knows what they're doing will decimate a team by properly managing his invisibility, Deadly Poison stacks, and Expunge, so I find it hard to justify buffing him. I'm all ears for counter-points though.
