It isn't a General Guide, but a Champion Guide. Put this guide in the general ones only brings confusion. Also your guide can get more visibility if you put it in the right section.

Exhaust is great because it means A) People can't punish your weak early game B) it makes hitting skittles so much easier if you're in the middle of a fight, when you cannot rely on your wall C) it allows you to be in the middle of the fight without dying instantly.

Surely that's more dependant on your playstyle? if you're confident in reading your opponent and landing skillshots, then it's not really required, more of a luxury. I would be tempted to take it if my team composition did not let itself to slows/stuns/knock-up/roots. I guess it's part of the reason that Karthus' pick rate is so low, but i feel that the benefit of teleport is far greater than exhaust, and a lot of people would agree :P

I would be tempted to say exhaust is stronger than ignite simply because requiem will be your main tool for finishing a fleeing opponent. The practically is exhaust is greater in that you can escape a gank easily if your flash is on CD. Obviously the plus to exhaust is that it makes your skill shots almost certain to land, but i think it loses potency in teamfights if not used correctly. Teleport is more friendly to roaming, making mistakes and quick purchases if needed.

Replace clarity with (maybe as a second choice ) and you should be pretty good to go(mana management isn't hard). If you want your guide to be even better, you can add a section about matchups.

I would also suggest to encourage people to ult(or to "ks" with any other skill on any other champion) when there is the slightest chance that the enemmy might get away instead of your "don't ks" advice.

Well written, but I feel that teleport might be more competitive than clarity if you're looking for mana battery. Might be useful particularly if your top-laner favours ignite over teleport, you can move between lanes rapidly (especially if you intend to roam as you mid game suggests), but also maintain presence with requiem.
