Don't forget that leveling Q also reduces the CD.

But anyway, the only time that I would max W first is probably in an afk-farm lane with bottomless mana, AKA if my support was Soraka. Essence Flux is expensive, but it does good damage and minions can't protect your lane opponents from harass with it. You just sit there, last-hit minions, harass with W, and then when they get low you either zone them out or go for the kill. I really hate Soraka as a support though, so I'm not too keen on it.

Go 9 points down the Defense tree if you want more health.
