I'm not sure... my logic behind starting W is twofold. Since I don't like to trade with my opponent before level 3, I can use the stun to quickly disengage from any of their attempts at forcing one, and it also somewhat alleviates my lack of boots by stopping most very early gank attempts. The two health pots I take are usually enough to carry me through the first couple of levels so I can properly focus on healing with my Q. If I have to play passively and miss cs to do it, I'm okay with that. The early AD rune setup I have with the Long Sword mean I'm really, really hard to outtrade in lane anyway, so I've usually made up for the loss fairly quickly (and Rene is a beast farmer midgame, so there's that option too).

It's worked out okay for me so far, so either it's a good strategy or I'm just facing lame opponents. Probably the latter given who I queue with, but eh. :P
