Well, I'm still (technically) new... but here's what I've been thinking regarding lux... lemme know if this is good or not would ya?
Optimal gank against people who wont destroy you:
Lux (side) gank. W into the jungle/gank assister to not give yourself away and shield :3. Toss E in escape path for the slow, don't activate. Flash in basic attack with lich bane power up. Activate E, basic attack again activates her passive. 700+hp gone (after moderate defenses). Snare with Q when they flash/run, hell even if they stay to fight. While snared, give em another lich bane powered basic attack. Fire ult if able/worthwhile.
If it's someone that'll destroy ya... well then you act as bait
Toss the E+activate to bait them toward you if possible. If they don't take the bait, you keep tossing attacks at them to wear em down I don't use Q just in case they really DO decide to come after me with ghost or something so that I can snare them and get somewhere safe... or if there's a trap ready I save it to root them if they try and flash out of it.
I usually carry flash and teleport/fortify. Yeah... fortify, rarely though. inb4 "omg noob carries fortify when playing a support/caster". I've managed to hold towers 1v3/4 thanks to that+ one spell cycle. It's also awesome against divers
