Movement speed grants AD (passive) — charge with E (Devastating Charge) + Ghost for a massive charge burst.
Q (Rampage) has a very short cooldown that decreases with stacks — spam it in combat for constant DPS.
R (Onslaught of Shadows) fears enemies — use it to engage teamfights and scatter the enemy team.
In the jungle, your clear is fast and healthy thanks to Q spam + W (Spirit of Dread) sustain — full clear quickly to gank.

Playing against Hecarim
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
Hecarim is very dependent on movement speed — slows are devastating against him.
His E (charge) can be stopped by hard CC — a stun or knockup during his charge stops him dead.
He's relatively squishy if he doesn't build tanky — burst him before he drains with his W.
Ward deep in his jungle: Hecarim wants to charge from fog of war, vision nullifies his ganks.
