I used to main her, and let me just say that she is an awesome champion to play. I know a lot of people say she's not viable etc etc, but fuck them, Kat's gameplay and how good she is in a teamfight is directly related to how good her handler is. The main thing about playing Katarina is knowing that you are the clean up crew AP carry, not the sustain damage AP carry. You shunpo into a team fight that has already ensued, and you make sure their main CC's have already blown everything and that's when you jump in. She has supremely high mobility with her E acting as an attack and an escape, and her cooldowns refresh after every kill or assist, so you can unlimited E jump. Great ganking ability, great assassination ability. My favorite is when people facecheck a bush and soak up a full ult of yours. Galios or Malphites are best teammates for Kat.
For runes I go pretty standard caster, flat AP quints, AP/level blues, mag pen reds, ap/level yellows or armor yellows. The build that I find works brilliantly is, Sorc Boots, Gunblade, Rylais, Deathcap, Void Staff and your choice of Hourglass or Lich Bane.
