Spamming your bouncing blades pre-level 6 is not an effective way to farm. If you're relying only on that, you'll be missing a lot of cs. If you try to engage enemies once in a while, you can win against certain champs, but against strong midlaners (cass for example), you will get zoned. If you try to engage, you will be in the losing end of the exchange.

Damage-wise, if you don't snowball and get lots of early kills, your Q+E won't be killing people left and right, more so if the teams are close to each other in terms of power. Your ulti is still the best damage you have by far, which is unfortunately not very reliable.

In team fights, if you don't chain kills, your going to suck. You're suggesting a "clean-up" style kat, meaning you're going to rely on your teammates for the bulk of the early damage. If they can provide it, then it's ok. If that happens, THEY carried you, not the other way around. As an AP carry, you should be carrying them.

TLDR: Kat sucks if team sucks. If team carries, Kat is good.

(Kat will work on a CC heavy team though, there's that).
