Karthus laning phase is something you just have to endure because it sucks against most mids. As long as you manage not to feed your opponent and grab a few kills you should be able to start beasting once the teamfight phase starts. I just try to farm and if the mid you're up against comes to close then you can kill him. If they are smart and keep dodging your Q's then just keep trying to harass and farm and pick off kills with your ult.

My usual Karthus build is Sorcerers, ROA, Athenes, Deathcap, Zhonyas and finally either a void staff or AA. There is no mage stronger late game than Karthus IMO and only Cass is comparable to him.
