I was skeptical of this build at first because I usually take the talents that extend range as to stay out of the middle of Team Fights. But, being able to drop a W on minions THEN switch to attack heroes, and drop another W right away on heroes, gives 8 attacks that are 50% more dmg and 50% faster. Don't always get all 8 perfectly placed, but it's good enough that if we hit 6 on a target, they are dropping. Plus our Ult does significant damage
Star Wood Spear is pretty poor compared to the alternative. 50% range seems like a lot, but it'd have to be more (or last longer) to compete with 50% basic attack speed. Even Let Them Wither beats it in this tier.
I like this build. Pumps out some great siege damage while maintaining your ability to effectively team fight. Cruel Spores is better than I thought, for the reasons you mentioned, but also, for being able to keep poison up from afar. You can vine a creep wave and bounce away while sporing them, which will grant xp even when you are out of range.
