Yes Seraphs is a potent item...when completed...but on Kassa is a bust, since one of your core items is a scaling item already, you'll take way too long to scale up (best case scenario is you'll have both items fully charged at the 30 min) especially due to the fact that until level 11 Kassa wont have a spell with a low enough CD to charge the Tear on a constant basis.

And the thing is...you generally go double scalling items on champions with A: safe waveclear B: Massive mana costs C: Massive scalings on low CD. That's things like Karthus, Anivia, Ryze. Kassa does have high scalings, but not to that extent, nor does he have alot of long distance, safe waveclear and he also does not have particularly low CDs outside of his ultimate. And once that first line of turrets goes down, playing defense or trying to recover becomes dificult if you dont have enough waveclear to endure an enemy siege.

Lastly Kassa can match Fizz in damage with the added bonuses of being able to re-engage teamfights and skirmishes at the drop of a dime after bursting down the initial target, having the ability to bully Fizz in lane and in the latter stages being capable of 1v1 him once he has Hourglass to negate the Chum the Waters completely, thus cutting Fizz's burst damage in half.
