Key strategic elements to consider when playing Lone Druid:

Control runes with hero and Spirit Bear.
Fish for entangle by poking opponents with the Spirit Bear here and there. If it procs, you can do follow up damage.
Make use of catapult waves. The Spirit Bear can tank tower shots for a while.
When in trouble, consider using Savage Roar and True Form. Lifesteal or body blocks from the Spirit Bear can also help survive.
Avoid showing your hero too much, especially at the start of the fight.
You can take Roshan fairly early by yourself or with minimal help. The Bear with Me facet will help heal both the hero and Spirit Bear with right clicks.
Make sure to pick up Aghanim's Shard on your hero at the 15 minute mark. It provides a drums-like buff and basic dispel with Savage Roar.
In tough late game scenarios, resort to ratting with Aghanim's Scepter on your Spirit Bear to let it attack away from your hero.
