Key strategic elements to consider when playing Morphling:

Focus on last hitting with your high base damage advantage over enemy heroes. Shifting more agility will help with last hitting but can be risky because of your low HP pool.
Be careful when playing versus ranged heroes. You don`t want to allow them to harass you too much and force you to morph strength.
Rush Morbid Mask for HP sustain on a tough lane.
Whenever you drop low on health, shift to agility before using health consumables or Magic Stick.
Consider putting a point in Adaptive Strike on level 2 if you have issues securing range creep last hit.
Start shifting into strength right away if you expect to be jumped.
Healing reductions and silences are a big problem for your hero, and early Manta Style can dispel both in many cases.
Don`t be morphed fully into agility when moving around or before the fight.
Aghanim`s Shard is really good when you are playing against excessive disables and long stuns.
Black King Bar is necessary to prevent getting interrupted when Waveforming in to fight enemy heroes.
