Wriggle's is fine if you're doing badly early game. Why would it be bad with her W's passive? Yeah, ofcourse you'll end up pushing if you just waltz into the middle of the incoming creepwaves and start AA'ing. You're supposed to lane clog for that reason. The Wriggle's gives her plenty of sustain along with Hiten's active and enough extra damage and armor that she'll be able to tank and heal the damage the creeps deal to her while you clear them extremely fast thanks to the Wriggle's proc along with your Hiten's true damage.

Pre nerf her W used to heal for double the current passive amount. So like 1st reply said, it was basically like having the sustain you get from the current Hiten active, except it didn't need to be activated, i.e. it was passive. All the active did back then was activate the true damage portion of the ability.
