Level 20
Level 1 - Enhanced Agility
This is a permanent increase to movement speed that is accessible to max out and see full utility from. With no mount, this not only helps with moving in between your Z cooldown, but will allow you to pursue kills and body block with scary efficiency. Another great choice on this tier is Tissue Regeneration if you're looking to scale health regen for extra beefiness.
Level 4 - One-Who-Collects One-Who-Collects
One-Who-Collects
This talent is the most reliable and assured way to quickly build up your health regen (based off of tier 1) considering that your Z is still a long cooldown until 20. Clear waves fast with W and stack that regen up while still being able to bully most enemies in lane.
Level 7 - Symbiosis Symbiosis
This is Dehaka's main damage source, and a really useful ability because it allows you to move through units, including enemy and allied heroes. This will give off an illusion of irrelevancy while bringing great supporting pressure to your team fighting.
Level 10 - Isolation Isolation
The low cooldown, shocking damage, and overwhelming utility of this choice makes me see it as objectively better than the heal. This build uses a lot of Dehaka's self sustain options pre and post 10, and I don't feel that Adaptation is necessarily worth it over the punch that Isolation can bring.
Level 13 - Whirling Dervish Whirling Dervish
Whirling Dervish
This is a huge power spike. With the cooldown reduction at 7, this will keep Dark Swarm on a very short cooldown supplying not only damage, but CC reduction that will allow you to provide an effective frontline and bully enemies effectively past control.
Level 16 - Elated Tongue
This is a useful talent if you are having an issue with hitting those Q's.
If you can hit them I would recommend Paralysing Enzymes as the 50% slow really help if you are pulling those tanky heroes into your team for them to melt.
Also if you are having to be the main tank for the team or feel that you are melting to fast I guess you could take Rapid Regeneration as it can give you some crazy heals when paired with your Essence Collection at full stacks.
Level 20 - Apex Predator Apex Predator
Apex Predator
This is an incredible talent, and allows you to be literally ANYWHERE on the map within a 10 second cooldown. This is insane for soaking essence before engages, pushing lanes out, ganking, you name it. If your team bears a lot of wombo combo potential, Contagion is also a great choice to spread Isolation's damage and utility around; again, this is only really useful when your team has good combo potential. Otherwise, stick with Apex Predator.
