As a karthus player myself (And I build as glass cannon as they come, aside from a philo as my first item to support lane-staying). WotA, Rabadons, Void staff, MP boots, Zhonya's hourglass and a mejai's (build it second if things are going well, never if they are going poorly.) I have to say my ulti is... A perk. It's countered with a myriad of items, including but not limited to banshee's veil, hexdrinker, and anything with a substantial amount of MR. Force of nature helps any champion as it gives move speed as well. To the people CRYING and WHINING about "KARTHAS MAKES YOU BUY AN ITEM SO HE'S OP WAH WAH" are you saying ALL champs are OP? The only reason I play karthas glass cannon is because I ward the shit out of the jungle and always stay at max range, spamming Q and E to slow and nuke while my team does most of the work. By late game my ulti isn't a kill getter, it's an initiator. I pop it at the START of a team fight to ensure the MAXIMUM damage is done to the enemy team. Think of it as any other AoE ulti (annie, brand, vlad, galio, amumu, nunu etc etc etc etc, the list goes on forever). Any other champion I play, at least 2 of my items are devoted to countering the enemy team. A master yi is rocking the field? Thornmail. Ignite is causing me problems? QSS. Enemy warwick/malzahar supressing the shit out of me? QSS. I'm moving too slow? gank books. Rammus/shen taunting like Fother muckers? Tenacity. The entire item system in the game is built around COUNTERING THE ENEMY TEAM. If you think you can take whatever items you want with NO REGARD to the enemy team, and expect to win EVERY MATCH, you're completely retarded. The hero you're looking for BTW is release week Xin. The items are in the game to counter things giving you a hard time, and boost things you're doing well. Snowball items reward you from kills. That large, extensive defensive tab is to keep you from feeding. You should quit crying and learn to play.
