Oh, you're concerned about the lack of one?

Attack speed equal to 10% of his attack damage (or 20%+ on crits) is pretty much non-conditional... unless you plan on killing them without autoattacks. And against champions, this stacks.

In a 1v1, getting bonus AD is almost non-conditional.

I guess I could tweak the Arcane Barrier skill - perhaps make it a legitimate spell shield that blocks the next harmful spell, and heals for the damage dealt (pre-mitigation)? And then give it passive on-hit damage. *shrugs* I'm open to your opinions. This is actually the first/only melee carry I've ever designed - that I can think of.

And yes, AD Kass works in Dominion permitted they have some reliable magic damage on their team. He isn't very strong against core-AD teams. I've won easily against Jax, due to his magic damage. Void Stone is AD Kassadin's death-maker. Against Thornmail it's hilarious, or Veigar (who gives you 2.5 attack speed instantly). I usually get Statikk Shiv and Sanguine Blade as core items, then Maw, Kitaes and Rageblade as conditional. I think I used to get Trinity, but I think early Sheen and getting Iceborn later would be good. I max W/E first, unless I particularly need the silence.
