And the mana is just the reason I barely go for 40% (45%) CDR. I usually buy 3 Mana Items: Tear, Morello and Hextech GLP. It may be a bit overkill to her mana costs, but you will never run oom and you will end up with huge AP values and to my mind thats more worth as being able to spam E half a second faster. And especially on a sustained damage dealer like Cassio I prefer getting Deathfire Touch instead of Thunderlords vor obvious reasons, so the extra CDR from Intellgence is no matter.

And I wouldn't call her a Suport with no CC and damage. She is a mage hypercarry that relies on uitlity, staying mobile and good positioning (as do ADC's). She may seems to be weaker now, but only because they shifted much of her power from the more than visible E damage to invisble spots of her Kit (Q damage, the MS boost of it, the grounded debuff, ect.). She became a much more situational pick than before I guess, but this doesn't have to be bad. We need just to figure out which situations are the best for picking her.
