Focus on clearing the wave with your superior clear. You can fight if the opponent is low pressure, but this pick shines in the mid to late game so you don't need to dominate lane.
This build is designed to explode the backline. A simple blink, ult, 3 is usually enough to kill. If not, you can still use your dash and 3 after your ult ends to finish the job or escape.

Swaps (2)
If you prefer the mana sustain and the synergy with Archmage's and Rod of Tahuti, Book of Thoth may be better.
Poly adds an additional burst of damage to finish of weak targets. Replace Obsidian Shard with it if you don't need extra Percent Penetration.
