The problem with your idea is that Karthus is designed as a suicidal champion. Of course, it's nice to survive a teamfight but he is best in the middle of the enemy team. His E might not look impressive but that damage is done to everyone in it, so it adds up to be pretty damaging to the enemy team as a whole. Combined with his R, he's doing massive damage to everyone, not just a single target. Landing consecutive Q's on a single target in a teamfight would be almost impossible. I wouldn't recommend maxing cdr as his E is a toggle and his Q doesn't really benefit from it at all. My ideal build for Karthus would be ROA, Seraph's Staff, Zhonia's, Void Staff, Sorc Shoes, and either Luden's Echo or Rabadon's Deathcap, not entirely in that order. This build lets you dive into the middle of their team and use Seraph's and Zhonia's to live as long as possible to do more DOT damage. Then when you die you use your ult since no one can stop it then.
