I don't think TANK Kass is too great...however, beefy Kass is probably the most effective (IMO). I consider Banshee's rather core on him, along with a possible late Rylai's or a RoA, depending on how I'm feeling. However, i feel like you are really overestimating his base damage going into late game. You really need to start getting that AP as the game goes on if you want to be a threat.

Sure, you first rift in will do a bunch of damage, but everything after that will be laughable, and the team can probably safely ignore you (other than your annoying single-target silence).

Your idea isn't bad, but you should drop some of it (say, the warmogs and probably frozen heart) and supplement some AP in there. You are wasting his his potential as a very hard nuker with a great escape and mobility if you just decide to build him tank.
