Her kill potential in lane comes from whittling her enemies down and closing in for a kill with Death Lotus. You can't expect to net kills during early laning, if that's what you mean.

Harass with your basic ability combo as many times as necessary (abuse your resourceless spellcasts!) and if your opponent refuses to head back to base at around half-HP or so, close in for Death Lotus. You really must have played Katarina enough to make a claim like that. I'm more than capable of obtaining my own kills with little or no jungler assistance, and normally after my first kill in lane I begin to roam and snowball by executing some pretty well-coordinated ganks.

I'm not saying her lane kill potential is the best (she's certainly no paragon of that), but it's definitely not 100% reliant on jungler intervention.
