Alright, so this is how i build now: In regular games, I start with a Long Sword, build it into a Phage, then build Mercs, starting with regular boots. Finish Frozen Mallet, then build an Atma's, starting with the armor. If you've been doin it right and your opponents aren't stupid you'll want a Last Whisper because they'll have some armor now. After that just build Bloodthirsters or something.

Now, on Dominion: I start out with Mercs. Then build a Sanguine, then a Mallet, then Last Whisper. I actually managed to get a killing spree of 6 in Dominion this way :P

My skill order is this: QWEWWREWWERQQQQREE.

My reason for that is, start with Q because of your mobility and passive. Then W because it does loads of damage. Then E because you'll want to upgrade your mobility a bit more and a nice shield. Get your W up a lot, so you'll do massive damage with it. Keep your E high enough to actually shield some damage. Then once you start building loads of AD you don't need to upgrade your shield-dash as much anymore, just go for the better nukes with Q.

My reasoning on Dominion is slightly different. There the E lvling is just to make escaping and surviving a chase-addicted Warwick easier (it also lowers the cooldown so you can use it more).
