No. Never.

Kassadin is a burst mage, which means the AS is completely wasted on him. When teamfights break out, you should never be in a position to autoattack someone for an extended period of time. If you are, the other team will eat you alive. By the time you would even consider this item (after RoA, deathcap, AA) the mana regen is irrelevant too. The CDR is not as good as it looks, either, since you should be getting every blue buff, and Nashor's + blue buff = 50% CDR, well over the cap.

2700+ gold for 65 AP and (effectively) 15% CDR? No thanks.
