From what I'm seeing, I'd say instead of playing aggressively like most J4s do nowadays like raising ur Q and E, play more defensively with W and E. U take more punishment to begin with and since ur using E to deal more damage, u lose out on less mana. Not to mention since u begin with ARpen runes and masteries no doubt, Aatrox players might focus on building gears that are good against Physical Damagers but not Magical Damagers. So u use ur Innate and ur AA to make use of ARpen while using W and E for prolonged battles.

They take longer to come off of CD true, but u manage ur MP more easily and Aatrox won't try to go aggressive on u as much. Not to mention in his early days, J4 was played defensively with W and E prioritised.
