I don't bother with Wraith start, the big one has too much hp to one shot. Just start wolves. As far as mana hungry goes, just max Q first, E is great but too expensive to use for clearing unless you are getting blue.

For ganks: Don't use twisted advance at the start of a gank. If you can come in behind the enemy, then just walk up and use smash. Once they flash then you can snare them. If you can't come in from behind then snare and go, but you can't really be sure of the kill.

Also: Boots of Mobility, they allow you to run past wards and get enemies in range for snare easier.
