The biggest problem is that Cass is more or less forced to buy mana items like Roa and Tear that need to be rushed, and then you lack anything but flat damages and scalings so you need more ap to make her actually useful in any dueling, and no matter how tanky you build I can't imagine her just running through the front line like a Mao or Malphite can.

Visage can be a good Item, but I'd usually build it in place of an abyssal, zhonya, or Morello, otherwise I'd have to give up a void staff or Rabadons, and that's just not something I'd want to do. The situations where I want it over the previous three I mentined are also super specific already, and she just doesn't have a kit that rewards tank items in the first place.
