Have you ever considered soul ring? Cause on me it's staple...maybe that's because i usually go for an agressive laning phase with lots of kills...but i think you need to consider it +1
Very uselful and nice guide!
Thanks for this Wall of text.
Just one thing,another interesting ally for CK is Crystal Maiden. Godness.
I love her.
Slov+ 3 seconds "stun" that you can spam + crazy mana regenaration for free = CK can catch up with anyone and hit this while frozen and..... SPAM SKILLS.
Might want to add Outworld Devourer to the "Counters" section. During the laning stage, after a few Astral Imprisonments, you will seem rather ineffective with 13 mana. Later in the game, the 400 bonus damage that his orb does to illusions will kill them pretty damn fast too.
I played CK for the first time the other night (I randomed him) and had great fun with him - I have now read your guide and recognise the areas I did right and the areas I did wrong and now all I want to do is give CK another go !
I went Power Treads, Armlet of Mordiggian, Drum of Endurance, Heaven's Halberd, Pipe of Insight, Skull Basher - which obviously meant I had a nice farmed game (my mate supported well) but knowing now that the Illusion work off of base strength I would of gone a different route - but 55% magic resist (and block), lots of regen, evasion, critical and bash (as well as shutting down their carry) meant I was a tough nut to crack :o)
+1 from me and I hope to be even more dangerous in future with this guides assistance.
Really good and fun to read guide.
I really like your humorous writing style. That combined with the in-depth knowledge of the hero makes it a recommendable guide. Due to the fact that i am a person who really likes picture, I would enjoy seeing more of them in your future guides. I could imagine that some people may not have read the whole guide due to the relatively long textblocks.
Besides from that +2 if I could :)
This is what I was referring to, CK has been often used like that with another, harder carry. It may be a bit outdated now though. but in pub games you'll still be "2" (if you're lucky, if not you'll end up laning with another carry... while your third carry is laning with your fourth carry while pudge is mid... and is building carry).
I'm sorry. This is just the greatest thing ever. Its the most true thing I have ever seen.
Yay, this is a very well written guide. I really enjoyed reading it, though it is a real wall of text. This thing made me desperate wanting to move out with my rapehorses and stomp these little squishy people on the enemy team -- and i did as i was told. This build rocks! +1
Unless CK was run in a dual lane mid (with a harder carry in the safe lane)

You mentioned that CK is a "2" hero and I think that you're misrepresenting CK/misunderstanding the number system. Unless CK was run in a dual lane mid (with a harder carry in the safe lane), he'd be considered a "one" as the two designation refers to the mid hero, three being the offlaner, four jungler/semi-support etc.
