W (Blood Hunt) speeds you toward wounded enemies — watch the trail indicators to find low targets.
Q (Jaws of the Beast) can make you dash behind the enemy if you hold it — hold Q to dodge skillshots and reposition.
R (Infinite Duress) is a dash suppression on the first target — use it to engage a carry or to escape (it dashes in the aimed direction).
E (Primal Howl) reduces damage taken and fears on the 2nd activation — use it in fights for both the damage reduction AND the fear.

Playing against Warwick
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
His R can be blocked by allies — position behind a frontline.
Grievous Wounds reduces his massive sustain from Q and passive — buy it early.
Warwick is stronger when him or the enemie is low on HP (bonus attack speed and lifesteal) — burst him before he drains.
His held Q makes him dash behind you: be careful about your position after a Q.
