Maxing W second allows for (slightly) higher burst/utility but less sustained damage vice versa. Putting a second point at level 8 is almost always best unless you're ahead and snowballing with an additional item over your lane opponent since your autos won't be doing much until you get a BF sword and a second point in W allows you to Q/W a wave that kills ranged creeps. At level 10 it's typically best to put points in E since the laning phase will be coming to an end and you'll need the CDR and attack speed that ranking E gives, however if you're behind putting additional points into W might be best since you'll gain more magic damage and a higher slow % for escaping.
