Strategy
Bonus gold from Devour is granted at the end of the Devour cycle and you will lose it if you die. Avoid dying when a creep is being Devoured for bonus gold.
Once you get 
Blink Dagger, try to make use of it immediately before your opponents see it in your inventory. It will usually result in a free kill off your ultimate.
Usually you want to devour Centaur Conqueror and obtain War Stomp to disable opponents after blinking on top of them as another disable given to your hero.
Avoid showing yourself at the start of the fight and wait for your Doom priority target to show.
Avoid fighting while Doom is on cooldown. Notify your teammates about its cooldown and push out lanes or play defensively.
Check opponents' inventories for Linken's Spheres and Lotus Orbs. Be careful not to drop Doom on those as it will be blocked and wasted.
Look to use Devour as frequently as possible on lane creeps or neutral creeps to keep getting gold and XP.
Counter Strategy
Doom is a weak laner at lower levels. Pressure him early on.
The Doom spell has long cooldown. Look to play aggressively when it is down.
Linken's Sphere, status resistance items and Lotus Orb are good at dealing with The Doom spell.
Acquiring Aegis for your core is a good way of dealing with The Doom spell. Look to kill Roshan.
Until Dooms level 25 mute talent, you can still use your own items to kite or escape while Doomed. You can use Teleport when Doomed.
