Key strategic elements to consider when playing Witch Doctor:

Use Paralyzing Cask to secure the ranged creep and harass opponents at the same time.
Witch Doctor has one of the highest kill potential at level 6 and you can even solo core heroes. Make sure you rotate or play around a hero that can help you secure a kill.
You can toggle Voodoo Restoration on and off while channeling Death Ward or Town Portal Scroll.
In the fights, make sure that Paralyzing Cask has enough units to bounce onto and make sure you Maledict before using your ultimate.
Pick up Aghanim`s Shard around minute 15 as it has a combination of defensive and offensive traits.
In the late game, you can pump in a decent amount of damage with Aghanim`s Scepter upgrade to Death Ward.

Main skill and item combo order: Paralyzing Cask => Maledict => Death Ward => Glimmer Cape
