Try not maxing E first. Maxing Q or W first makes much more sense. Also, try not buying BT first. Fiora's damage outside of her ult is mostly from auto-attacks so getting crit is necessary to scale. Youmuu's, Executioner's Calling, Black Cleaver are all better first choices than rushing BT. IE is risky but the damage is obviously better.

Darius's ult won't go on cooldown if you ult in mid-air so you have to make sure your ult kills him are else he'll execute you.

I find Fiora counters Vlad/Kennen extremely well, especially with Q maxed first. Her mobility and early game damage almost guarantees a kill at level 6.

Fiora's laning is all about calcuated risk. She's really easy to gank which makes it hard to play aggressive. If you are given the chance early to play aggressive, you should. She easily wins level 1-3 trades with Q + AA + Q + AA. Her passive is fairly weak later in the game but it really adds up in these early exchanges.
