Exhaust works very well for Cas. At any point in the game her burst isn't nearly as strong as her sustained damage, so she shouldn't aim to out burst anyone. With Exhaust, she can withstand burst, and then out DPS them. It works very very well for high burst and assassin match ups, which counter her most. As well, Ignite is generally meant for early agression, which Cass doesn't do well.
