I actually think he'd do way better as a bruiser than an assassin with his changes. His new burst is 700  (plus 20  if you count the autoattack reset), down from 650. His base damage is stronger, and he scales off of mana, so by getting items such as and  he'll deal more damage as he gets tankier.

I actually think new Kassadin may be a good jungler. His mana restoration means he can give blue buff to mid lane all the time and still do well, he gets free permanent damage on autoattacks and a shield, and his ult gives him huge map presence. With 0/9/21 masteries he'd be able to capitalize on those strengths.
