Q-W-Q-E-Q-R is how I level Karthus up to 6.

I don't think E is a good skill to get until at least 4th level because it requires a lot of mana for the amount of output damage you need. In fact, sometimes I won't even grab it until level 7. It's just not that useful for early laning (and you have to rely on a competent jungler to make sure you get 2nd blue).

His auto-attack is crap so I rarely, if ever, use it. Stick with Q, level it so it hurts and practice a lot so you don't miss. Get a wall in when you think they can't avoid it so you can pop them with Q a couple of times for harass and zoning. Honestly, if you're just patient with Karthus and don't try to push for kills, you'll hold your lane fine.
