Shukuchi allows Weaver to easily get on top of AA or to disengage from Cold Feet or Ice Blast. Time Lapse is able to restore HP during Ice Blast as it does not function as a heal and can be further upgraded with Aghanim's Scepter to save allies. Additionally, Time Lapse can dispel Cold Feet and Shukuchi can disjoint the occasional Chilling Touch hit.
