I found Dominion Kass to be decently balanced. Not overpowered and still manageable (easy to kill lvl 1, ult's not insane due to cooldown). Other champions had the capacity to achieve his amount of damage, and the map-specific nerfs to ult brought him in line. Specific gripe here is that while power has shifted within Kass's kit from R to W, on Dominion his ult has the all the negatives of cost and reduced damage without the single positive - the cooldown reduction.

As for the comparison to TF, I don't think it's fair because they fit different roles (also who still plays TF?). If you're going purely by AP scaling, a better comparison to assassins might be Gragas (2.3) or LeBlanc (2.4 + at least .65 from ult).
