I know I said what combo I do, but generally combos are situational. You may have to pool before/after your Ult -> Ignite -> DFG (the ignite before is important so DFG amplifies the Ult delayed damage) -> E, Q But generally it all depends on what is going on in a fight.

Sometimes you don't want to just go R -> EQ -> W -> EQ AGAIN -> Then zhonya's. It all depends on how close the enemies are or if they are intent on focusing you. Generally if focusing you is a top priority (as it was in my last vlad game) R -> Ignite -> DFG and anywhere during the next two skills (E/Q) if I feel threatened W. If they are waiting for W to end by clearly standing near/getting closer to the center of pool I immediately Zhonyas because not only is their time wasted in trying to focus me but my allies now have a lot of time to peel for me. I can then jump back in the fight. But again it all depends on what is happening. If I am not being focused after my first EQ I save my pool for when I need it and throw out E+Q as they come up. Generally only offensively pooling when it is a sure win/I am in no danger of dying afterwards.
