You can build it but during the laning phase it takes longer for a decent sustain to be built up than a decent burst. Bursting him down is extremely effective for getting him the hell outta yo lane so you can get ahead.

The dash as an escape is extremely effective in the same way as it is on Katarina if she could only dash to enemies. Sure, if you get a perfect situation it would be extremely effective. Alas, the world is not perfect, and screw-ups like your minions not being there when you need them DO happen. Fortunately Kata doesn't have to deal with that problem because she can shunpo to wards. Which Yasuo can't. Dash all you want mate, if you can't dash in the right direction, you're screwed all the same.

So yeah, what Shadowstriker said is perfectly valid, and y'all sucking up to Yasuo should stop mindlessly denying anything that makes him seem less-than-perfect. He's not. He can be countered just like everyone else, silly mortals.
