Whenever I jungle (I'm far from a pro, though), I usually start with E. Grab a point in W at lv. 2 and gank (if my team has enough CC to help). Otherwise, jungle to 3, grab Q, gank.

Then I max Q first, then W and finally E (I sometimes take a second point in E a lv. 5 but that's random). His E does have a high mana cost, especially early game, so maxing it last is preferable unless they buff his passive to restore Mana too.
