Playing Cassiopeia as a tanky DPS Mage is possible, though I prefer Rylais over RoA when it's about building HP, as the slow is just so awesome. Therefore for usual I accept the 700 gold "waste" to stack up mana so I can go for core items with utility.

You shouldn't see it as: I build Archangel as fast as possible and suffer from the long stacking up phase, but more like: I now invest 700 gold for a mana fix, and as soon as it is stacked up I have the option on a good offensive item. RoA on the other hand pretty much forces you to build it as quickly as possible as it starts stacking just after you have fully bought it.
