Blink Strike: I'm not sure how exactly do the abilities work but the name hints. Move the unit next to the target, order it to attack, once attack is done, move it back.
Burrow Strike: I don't know what this one does.
Omnislash: Yumero's ability, seems to be built just like blink strike except looping a few times and picking a random enemy in range every strike.

1.)
hmm, you mean blink strike is just like blink but you'll attack the nearest target or the target itself? so it means blink strike must be targeted to a unit? if it is use this...
set blink to be targeted to a unit only, then.
Code:
Event-A unit finishes casting an ability
Conditions-
Actions-
wait .1 seconds
order hero to attack target unit of ability

i still can't get the third.

No, I think it's something along the lines of casting impale, then moving the hero to the end of the spike line.

Blink Strike: Unit blinks to target enemy dealing bonus damage on that enemy.
Burrow Strike: The unit sort of blinks to one area and the path through which he moved is impaled.
Omnislash: Like blink strike but he hits a random unit every time(if unit within range) but without bonus damage, but criticals are still active. The unit is invulnerable while doing this.

There's something to work with div. If you still wanna help him :p
Besides this guy should post this in dota allstars forums.

blink strike is actually a dummy ability, the triggers do the job on dota
it just moves your hero to the target, creates a blink special effect, plays its attack animation and uses a damaging trigger, quite simple.

about burrowstrike, its a little complicated..
it sets the x and y position of the target location first
then it calculates the distance between your hero and 100 range in front of him
and each 100 range, it creates a dummy unit which casts impale at that 100 range point.

For blink strike it could be something like a storm bolt base spell and when u cast it, it teleports you to the target. For burrow strike it's the same thing except you use impale as base ability and uses a trigger to make the burrow animation.

dota is a dumb game, its more like whoever gets a late game hero first wins...
and all its nukes have storm bolt as base ability which is noob.

anyway for ominslash, u make in invulnerable.. change vertex coloring to 50% trnasparerent... and pick random units within range.... ther you go

To be honest i don't like dota all stars. A pro in dota all stars doesnt need to have much skill, just memorise all the items and what they do and you can be "beyond godlike". Yap, its kinda dumb playing that game, but i don't know how it became so popular and players actually flood bnet list with dota all stars T_T.

Well, i played dota allstars before.
blink strike: move the caster to the unit that is targeted and order it to attack the victim.

burrow strike: base it on impale, set the animation played while casting impale to burrow, then move the caster to the point where impale ends.

omnislash: as immoralis said

Make something unique or better, try not to follow dota all stars spells, i think alot of players don't want to see some spell similiar or exactly same as dota all stars.

Some guy on wc3sear.ch made alot of the dota spells, click on spells and they should still be there on front page.

If not type in dota in the search part.
