You have great dmg and poking ability with Karthus even without AP in early game if you can place your q well. I usually buy tear of godness first and then Catalyst first, because i can stay longer out on the lane. It doesn't matter if in late game i would be stronger with another item. I usually have Rod of Ages in 14-15 minutes. I reach it with skipping spending my money on Doran's ring or any other items. It gives me the upperhand againts my enemy. But you have some point, it's worth a try in late game to sell roa and buy Rylai after i have full build, i will try it out. But i just can't see how could rylai's passive be nearly a good as the catalyst passive in early.
