Actually:

Siniter Steel + Death Lotus effective damage per second: 400 (+1.75 per bonus attack damage) (+1.05 per ability power) +37.5 (+0.1 per ability power) ( bouncing blade mark)

Killer Instincts + Death Lotus damage per second: Old per second: 326 (+1.6 per bonus attack damage)  (+0.83 per ability power)

Damage lost (due to old ultimate lasting 3 seconds): 165 (+1.5 per bonus attack damage)  (+0.2 per ability power)

Note though that the old Katarina had no follow up on Death Lotus until Bouncing Blade came off cooldown (unless she got a kill). New Katarina's Sinister Steel will be ready after <2 second (due to casting before ult'ing) and with 25% CDR Siniter Blade will be available immediately. Sinister Steel + Death Lotus + Sinister Steel reduces her "damage lost" to: -35 (+0.5 per bonus attack damage) (-0.15 per ability power) (minus meaning damage gain, rather than loss).

The only nerf to Katarina is her AD ratios. All in all it's basically a flat-out buff (particularly her reliability).
