Veigar one-shots the enemy APC then becomes useless as his burst combo gets put on a long cooldown. Cassiopeia can shred anyone, including the enemy tank, and still have all of her basic abilities ready for another target. She is unique in that she has the best single-target damage output out of any midlaner, and late-game damage scaling that rivals that of a marksman. Unlike previous Cassiopeia, for whom building defensive items meant falling off late game, current Cass can afford to build health or mana because her passive guarantees her good late-game damage (not to mention free sustain, in addition to the new mana sustain she has on her E). The flaws you're mentioning were present to a much larger degree on old Cass.
