Pretty sure she was more viable when you could stack Bloodthirsters to 100 AD, but with the new auto attack animation(idk if that's the right word for when an auto attack registers) change, kiting with her is almost as easy as kiting with Xin Zhao.

There's also the matter of whether or not you're playing in mid lane. If you're AD, you're gonna have a difficult time last hitting minions in the back due to you only having autos and W. Kat has no AD scaling on her Q(anymore) so last hitting with it is pretty difficult. Even AD melee midlaners like Zed or Talon have ranged abilities that can last hit reliably.

my match history with a good amount of AD bruiser /Glass cannon AP /Full tank Katarina

Magic Penetration Katarina

AD Katarina (in lieu of a marksman(Normals))

AD Jungle Katarina (Season 4(Normals))

I do have a bit of a theory that states "the time it takes for the opponent to start turning and running away from you positively correlates with the amount of health they have lost." This is why enemy champions are always are left with 14 health :P

Let's take (AP)Katarina for example. her QEWR combo has very high burst damage at the beginning but tapers off in the end. In the opponent's point of view, he/she is thinking, "Oh crap that's a ton of damage *flash* oh wait nvm *walks back in to fight Katarina*(this is assuming the Katarina is sufficiently fed and the opponent is scared of the Katarina)"

For (AD) Katarina, her QEWR/EQWR damage rate is a bit different that her AP counterpart. On a scale of 1-9 with 9 being high damage(relative to Katarina), her combo damage would look kinda like this: 111795555555555(AD) compared to 86574444444444(AP).
