How to use Lili's W effectively?

Lili's W, adds an auto-attacking snake summon to yourself or an ally for 8 seconds. Currently I'm throwing this on any ally in my lane who is aggressively pushing into minons or heroes, but I'm curious if this is the best use for it.
How should I be using this ability to support another hero? Is there ever a time where I should be casting it on myself?

Cloud Serpent is basically a DPS buff, but you should be considerate of the auto-attacking mechanic.
In most cases, you just want to apply it to allies or yourself if they/you are within range of combat. However, since it auto attacks, this can also be a great deterrent when running away, since you or an ally can focus on moving away while the serpent deals some light damage, essentially kiting, hopefully convincing any pursuers to break chase and heal.

Don't use it unless you're in the middle of a big teamfight, it's not very strong. Conserve the mana for your Q and E. The last thing you want to happen is for you to run out of mana mid fight.
