I'm with you on the 'less DPS' part. I played him semi-caster, semi-DPS and I gotta say, I'm glad I built my PD last. The damage scaling on both the q and e skills had me hysterical.

Oh, and screw stacking dorans on this guy. You need to buy AD as often as you can to harass in lane with your q and e. Killing minions allows you a speed buff that's good for pushing enemy champs so your creeps can head to the tower while you're at the shop. You just have to remember that if an ememy attacks you near your creeps (you'll need to keep them alive, so don't passively wait to only last hit), they do annoying pinch damage. The trick is not to let a ranged enemy kill your minions before they advance - q and e the enemy so they have no choice but to step back a little.

Let your creep wave pile up and focus on attacking the enemy while they're by turret. Either they choose to clear your creeps and take arrows to the face, or they back off far enough for their tower to take some hits.
