You are failing to see several obvious weak points in jungle Kass, yes.

Kassadin is squishy, and to compound that he also has no sustain either health or mana-wise (if you forcibly try and dump points into W early to try to fix that you will have zero damage). He will fall apart just trying to clear the jungle, let alone trying to gank somebody or trying to fight off an enemy jungler.

Q is on a long cooldown and E requires you to have cast several spells before you can use it. They are not very useful clearing abilities.

Only after level six is his mobility any good. Before that it's awful, and good luck getting to level six anywhere near as fast as superior junglers or laners would. I fail to see how it gives him amazing gank potential.

There's nothing special about W. At least it has decent base damage.

There's been an awful lot of 'hey why isn't jungle X champion used? It sounds really good!' lately. I wonder why...
