Aura. Free creep cannon. Tank cannon. I too almost never get lightning storm unless i have thunder tank very early. Can be usefull when defending or sieging - mass creeps in small areas, entraces to bases for example.
You dont even need powerful weapons or skill with aura to farm, you just run in and bam.
When used very early, just run in. Whats the dps of it? i dont know it off the top of my head but it can help. Against no-hull weak tanks it rapes. Just walk or waddle in. In the situation Tribulation described, aura would have been instant pwnage rather than gameplay. hehe. I dont even think there is any way you can possibly use lightning storm to greater/er advantage than aura.
SINCE using bolt and chain lightning is mandatory, storm actually handicaps you by sapping your mana. Its DAMAGES you so aura wins 452 - 1.

Scaring them off works much better (theoretically) with storm.. because it doesnt change with levels. Storm and they will avoid it most likely (early game). If they are noob, they will have no idea how much damage it does unless they step in. In hb i guess the 400g for using all skills at once is plausible... but then that only removes the disadvantage, without making it less crappy as i described. In hb mode the game would probably be too fast for this argument to even matter.
Honestly, storm fails as a hero killer later on so its a creep killer. Aura is uber creep killer. If storm doesnt get stronger against heroes then aura will always win. Against buildings it does as much damage as one billionth of half a tank cannon shot. haha.
