You don't really do any damage with him until late game. His pre-9 is ridiculously weak. He's honestly more about his semi-safe laning (troll pool to escape from ganks, resourceless, good sustain post-revolver with points in Q) and his extremely powerful teamfight ultimate.

It depends on who you're playing against, what they have etc.
If you go straight AP and CD reduction, you won't have enough health/armour/MR to survive much. You'll be squishy, and anyone with decent Magic resist will take significantly reduced damage, but anyone with high HP will just soak anything up anyway e.g. Singed. Get some magic penetration and possibly a deathfire's grasp (it's item ability will deal a lot of damage and soften them up for all of your abilities)
Being a coward as Katarina is probably a very bad thing too. Another factor in is the gold and EXP rates and if you're chickening out of too many fights you'll end up behind the curve and everyone will just outscale you.
Katarina needs to get into fights, her passive is all about getting as many kills and assissts as possible to get even more kills and assissts. An Ace with her involved in all the murder will reset her ultimate and allow you to start the whole thing over again. You might die, but if your actions cause 4 enemies to die then your death was not in vain.
But that's late game, and you have to have a good early game to get to there. A 10 kill Katarina is scary as all hell, no matter how she got those kills, so ask your jungler (or someone in the top and bottom lane, if you're Kat you should be in the centre of the map) for help ambushing someone to get the kill and the gold.

Threats & Synergies
Alistar
Asol Does No Dmg League 2017
If he does so much as touches you during mid game, you'll be at the fountain by the time you figure out what happen. Stay Away!
Blitzcrank
Same as Alistar, but even worse. Avoid getting grabbed or just dodge the game. It is somewhat doable!
Soraka
Even with no cc in her kit, she is a menace in lane with her Q and E. Range is one thing, but when the player you and your laner are trying to kill is getting healed faster than you can do damage it's a nightmare for mid to late game.
Draven
Asol Does No Dmg League City
A good Draven can really make a game. With a decent Asol, the match might as well be over by the time Draven gets 5 kills.
