Strategy
Secure range creep lasthits with Crypt Swarm and possibly hit opponents as well.
Try to throw an auto attack and use crypt swarm at the same time to secure last hits.
Death Prophet's survivability is related to Spirit Siphon usage. Siphon as many units as possible for decent duration. You should be looking to dive towers with Siphon charges from level 5, especially 6 onwards with Exorcism.
Death Prophet excels at taking towers and Roshan early with Exorcism. Call for team to group up around you. Play more forwards and into enemy's territory when Exorcism is available.
Avoid playing aggressively when Exorcism is down. Push out waves and prepare for the next move.
Itemize for survivability and to stay in the middle of the fight. Exorcism and Spirit Siphons will do the damage.
When in trouble, you can Spirit Siphon opponents and use 
Eul's Scepter of Divinity on yourself. You are still being healed in the air.
Healing reductions such as 
Spirit Vessel are great problem for Death Prophet. You can itemize against some of them.
Counter Strategy
When Death Prophet has Exorcism on, either burst her down or run away.
Look to defend towers against Death Prophet and fight her when Exorcism ends.
Items that reduce healing are good against Death Prophet's Spirit Siphons and Exorcism.
Armor items are good against physical damage of Exorcism.
Items that provide dispels are good against Death Prophet's Silence.
