° So with your build, you would have more spammability, but less DPS overall. This means you will have requiem more often, but it will hit for less damage potentially missing yourself a kill or two.

Morrellonomicon isn't good on karthus. Karthus is a champion that goes all in in a teamfight, he doesn't need sustain to poke the hell of an enemy like nidalee or gragas, he needs a big mana pool to waste everything without getting oom.

DFG ins't good, it is a single target burst-centric damage item and zhonyas 2.5 stasis + 50 armor is way better than 10% cdr.

My advice: keep the normal build, focused on karthus going in the middle of everything with defile(cost a lot of mana= Archangel's Staff), shredding both squishies and tanks(rabadon's- void staff), trying to stay alive the highest amount of time(ROA- Zhonya's), and finishing the job when he dies with Requiem.
