Man, you don't sound like a "silver shitter", these are good advice!

I use quick cast with some champions like Ez, but with Noc, I feel like I am better off without it duo to the delay on his Q, and the fact that his E is castable on minions (drives me crazy in lane, wish they would make it only castable on monsters and champions).

I do gank mid a lot, and bot when I have tele, I get many double kills from teleporting bot and tower diving with ult. Top is my main lane, and Nocturne is my favorite champion, that's why I am playing him there. His kit is extremely powerful in trading if you can spam it enough, that's why I end up buying some mana early (unless I am already winning lane), that way I can out trade an Olaf or a Riven, or even a Renekton if I can block his stun. I Q in, E, and try to predict the best ability to block with my shield, and as the fear procs, I aa once or twice and then walk back. Doing this twice, 3 at most should be enough for me to pick up the kill with my ult if they are still hanging around. This heavly depends on blocking the right abilities though.

The best champions in top lane are the ones who are able to go in, do damage, and go back out while taking the least amount of damage. Think of Riven: E in, Q and W for damage, and E or Q out. Wuking, E in and W out, Renekton, E in and out. Fiora Q in and out. Irelia and Jax can CC you and retreat with a winning trade. Nocturne can do all of those, it might be harder to proc his fear, and use his shield for less damage taken and more damage done. But once you master him, I think he is one of the best 5 champions in top lane, just gotta play him smart.
