using windrun aggresively is dangerous. you have no escape then.
using forcestaff or blink is probably the better bet.
windrunner is all about positioning. but axe is a pretty good windrunner counter. cant evade spins or dunk and focus fire just procs more spins.
slahser build (aghs-daedalus rush) works really well on me, especially if you get some kills early on to boost your gold. you can pretty much kill any hero with a good shackleshot. sadly you don't have much use without your focus fire with this build, and you don't have any alternative escapes for much of the game.
Maelstrom is not ideal for windranger if is using focus fire often. It cannot proc during the animation of a previous proc, thus there are diminishing returns. Stacking strictly damage may not assist a ton in team fights, but it definitely is more cost efficient.

I actually started building a shiva's guard on wr for team fights if my team has decided to pick strictly dueling heroes. Windrun lets shiva's cover a wide area if you need it to, and Windranger benefits from the intelligence and the armor. If I don't need any teamfight stuffs, I sometime build a dagon because I hate everyone.
