Actually what many people don't get about laning against fizz is that actually your best defense is good offense. obviously this only works on champs with decent ranged kit (brand, xerath, orianna). Very early Fizz doesn't have that much kill potential really, make him pay for every last hit he tries to do (I also recommend early wards so jungler can't help him getting you low). Establishing a decent early advantage in cs and getting some mr (against burst assassin I usually go for chalice and merury treads to survive) and calling those mia:s really help keep Fizz from snowballing.

About facing Kassadin as ap mid... Well most ppl say that play aggressively before he hits 6. If you have the kit and skill to do so then it's a great tactic, getting ganked by their jungler is something you should avoid though. After he hits 6 it's pretty much just surviving... Try to stay out of his ulti range near your own turret, having some form of sustain helps as well as early mr (boots/chalice or both) try to keep track of his movement so he doesn't get fed from other lanes and try to keep map warded.

Lb is just stupid to face... she's quite bad at farming though and can't handle too much poke, her kit is pain to deal with but if she fails to get early kills to snowball and she falls behind she will most likely have terrible time trying to catch up. Yet again like against most ap assassins early mr is a great help.
