Response to the folks having abilities not working.

The reason why 6.20 onwards have some ability bugs is because IceFrog remade 6.20 from scratch instead of updating it from 6.19b. This was so he can sort out unnecessary stuff and remove them. However, some of the triggers were not remade, which was highly likely since most spells in v6 are more trigger-based than stock war3 abilities. So some spells don't work. Whatever it is, it's still better than lame 84c, and it's only a matter of time before they are all ironed out, making it another step better than 6.19b (might as well call it v7 ). If it's too buggy for your clan practice/whatsoever you can always go 6.19b.

(offtopic)BTW will there be any v6 tourney in M'sia coming soon? I'm sick of seeing 84c everywhere just because a bunch of tourney players are too lazy to reformat their strats to use in v6 without MoM, Medusa and Timestop.

IAS sometimes is better than damage, for example AM's orb benefits more from it than more dmg, or Tiny with Hyperstones since he has high dmg/slow attack anyway.

Regarding IAS calculations you can go to the Heroes Database on www.dota-allstars.com when they iron out the server issues.

v6.00 and 6.01 came before 84c, courtesy of Guinsoo. IceFrog only started around 6.06.
From what I heard from a beta tester, Guinsoo wasn't too concerned about bugs, he'd rather chuck in more contents and keep an ultra-imbalanced hero in dota before removing it 10 versions later. Flame Lord ->Conjurer -> Medusa, so the cycle goes.

I once asked about where Guinsoo is in dota-allstars.com, they say he's 24/7 on WOW.
Anyway I couldn't care less, 84c was the stablest map around March, but now it sounds like crap compared to v6 considering all the stuff they fix. And True.Rus has gone on to play v6 along with his fellow russians (quoting from an old post at dotaportal)
