2 things here, the build and the mana pool management. I'll start with the mana, since it's the first "issue" that comes when playing cassio. You can actually harass very early even at lvl 1 with e, because it will "peel" your opponent before the lvl 2. It can take a 100 hit points which is actually huge when your opponent has like 600 hp. Since you got E at the begining, use it to last it and gain mana back and replenish your mana pool before you reach the kill zone.

As for the build, it's important to have tear just because you will build archangel eventually. Cassio is too good at stacking the passive to pass on this huge and gold effiecient item. However, why would you build morello before rylai? simply because rylai is a great for catching people and kitting. Once you get it, you can use e to apply the first slow, and THEN you can easily hit with q and empower your subsequent E.

Morello has great stats and grievous wound, but people forget the mana restoration, which can be a life saver passive coupled with archangel.
