The word "Bruiser" implies that the champion can survive the focus of an enemy champion, and not instantly melt. Thats the difference between assassins and bruisers, assassins do more damage but bruisers can live longer- they sacrifice damage for tankiness. With that said, Karthus is definetly not a bruiser. Yes, he does sustained damage over time, but one LeBlanc Q will bring him to 10% health. Same deal with Swain except he can heal a little bit of his health back, so 15% health. Cass is still in her 40% playrate, but she has not become a bruiser- same thing as Kass, damage over time but squishy.

Her shield values would need to be nerfed severly if the cooldown is to be lowered as well as the orb damage, otherwise the waveclear it provides would be too great and people would just max it and push the top/mid lane in all day long.

Attack Speed is good on her in this concept. Her passive gives bonus damage that scales off AP every 3 autoattacks, reguardless of who you attacked the first 2 times- meaning you can attack 2 minions, then q-r onto the champ and get an instant passive proc. The more attack speed = more passive procs = more consistant damage = less burst damage. Exactly what an AP Bruiser needs. She doesn't need a stronger slow if she has her Q-R gap closer. And the fact that there is counterplay with that combo is a very good thing. If she misses Q, she can't chase and she is vunerable, meaning there is something the enemy can actually do in lane and not cry under his tower. Every champion needs counterplay.

But I guess he's trying to spell my name right...thats a start.
