LIFESTEALER - ALT+TAB'ing your way through the JUNGLE

Introduction

My name is Danny and I used to be a racing pro gamer for SK Gaming. First of all I definitely have to say that this is not supposed to be a super detailed hero guide whatsoever. I'm pretty new to Dota and still learning a lot of things, but I've noticed that especially "ALT+TAB"'ing Guides are really helpful when you just want to have fun with your hero. That's it.

Items

Let me give you a brief thought about my items:
- Start:
When you feel really gusu and know how to jungle properly you could even leave out the Tango.
- Early:
I prefer Gloves over Boots first, because you can gain more time during killing the creeps than walking around in the junge. It depends on your gameplay though if you want to gank before you skill "Open Wounds", Boots might be smarter.
- Mid:
It's up to the situation, your gamestyle and your mood whether you want to have Hand of Midas or Power Treads first. I'm still trying to figure out what's better for me.
- Core:
Armlet of Mordiggian is the main item overall. After that I'm pretty much going towards my lat game items, but I really like the attack speed of the Hyperstone and the chance of stun with Skull Basher before I go for the really expensive items.
- Late:
Because of Hyperstone and Skull Basher I just picked the most logic items for the late game. But items mentioned in the Luxuary section are really acceptable as well.

Summary

Feel free to give feedback which items or skills I should change. I want to gather more information and experience before I change this short ALT+TAB'ing guide into a longer, detailed and thoughtful guide.

I'd max Open Wounds before Rage, it's more useful for you and your team. Gives a massive slow and lifesteal for everyone.

Open Wounds provides the same amount of slow at level 1-4. The increased life % isn't good early game since everyone has a low damage and low health pool to take advantage of it. Maxing out Rage over it is superior since the increased timer of attack speed and magic immunity makes you more survivable.

The CDR is also useful, but this is my play style :D not saying it's better.

Do you rather go for the Mjollr before my late game items? Or would you consider to buy it right after those? And help me to understand why. ;) Thanks.

bkb - people say he doesn't need it - that's Bullsh.. Rage + bkb + rage again (a couple of seconds of CD when you have used the bkb a few times) but that's basically magic immune for the entire clash. people like rhasta, lion, lina, ogre magi supports, will not be happy!
Attack speed build is best in my opinion as well.
Also get a midas always! AS + the active..
Don't forget to stack the neutrals (especially the large camp) when you hit 6, you could hit a large creep, infest the other large creep, burst out, and repeat process until you can tank them successfully.. just stick to the mid to low camps while you are stacking.
