1. Yes, because what Caster does not want Armor? It's not out of place, yes he is meant to outrange pretty much anybody, but how is a little extra armor useless? It has a purpose, not as a passive that you actively use, but as a passive that helps from time to time.

2. I'll agree with you on this :)

3. Its not that pathetic as its meant as a "first shot advantage". Its the strongest level 1 passive on bot (arguably) and will help much in midgame to guarantee that early IE crit.

4. Deadly Cadence is pretty much the only thing that allows Cass to spam her abilities. They are pretty high-mana cost for being so spammable (90 mana for Twin Fangs which are casted roughly once per second). Also, it makes Cassio a great harasser as keeping the harass up is rewarded (with your Qs costing like 30 mana instead of 70). It doesn't necessarily give her strength, but it gives her potential strength.
