You should always have someone that's a good enough laner to keep her from regenerating health with W and possibly from last-hitting (best-case scenario, even from last-hitting with bladesurge). They're not THAT hard to find ( and are some of the best for this). By the way, a key component of this that you can use on anyone is to not push the lane to her tower. When the minions are under her tower, it means she can safely do ALL of this. If you only last-hit, the minions won't get pushed to her tower very quickly, if at all (if you harass her well enough while only last-hitting, you can force her to either recall or sustain herself with her heal on-hit, which means pushing the lane towards your tower, opening her up for a gank from your jungler [you do have a jungler, right?]). It's one of those basic laning strategies that's always helpful and can really shut down opponents, but that nobody learns.
