Who's saying the ult is the only strong part? I mean sure it "deals [a] crazy amount of damage" but that's only if she gets all 2.5 seconds of it. Let's face it, it WILL get cancelled, either by the enemy team or Katarina herself since she's supposed to use her resets usually immediately after she obtains said resets. If she only gets 0.5 seconds off her ult when she has 700 ap, she'll only do like 300 damage before magic resist is factored. Yes, it's 300 damage to each target so really it's 900 damage, but the point is to get the first reset, so, damage to the other 2 targets is negligible, at least until youre ready to use your resets on them.

Anyway, cc is more of a counter to Katarina because it cuts her damage short since her ult is continuous. When you cc Zed, he's already ulted his target and used at least his e, so his damage has already been dealt. OR, you've cc'd Zed on sight but he can still ult someone(assuming he didnt get killed during the cc) if he's spamming R on somone.

Personally, I think her Shunpo is the strongest part of her kit. I mean, c'mon, Katarina is ungankable during the laning phase. I chose Katarina to be my main because I like playing safe and striving towards Perfect scores(yes, yes I do see the irony that Katarina is a high risk champion who fights in unsafe scenarios).
