"Why would I level an ability with a long windup, no utility, and high mana cost"

Very safe harass and zoning.

Blight Proc for the kill, but you'll need to be poking at the enemy to bring it down enough for that final Burst.

Harassing with Q will make auto-attack exchanges safer for Varus especially against champs like MF, Graves, or Trist who have steroids to win those exchanges. If they've taken a few Qs, they'll be lower health and less willing to exchange if they know they'll just wind up giving Varus Blight procs afterwards if they don't kill him.
