Sorry, but I don't have EU.
I also find that it is super-hard to itemize Kassadin.
I use this on nearly all casters:
-AA Staff
-RoA
Which gives me okay AP.
If I did something like:
-RoA
-Rabadon's
I always find myself needing mana, since he's so damn mana hungry
And if I went uber-AP:
-AA Staff
-Rabadon's
My HP pool would be scarily low, and people would focus me every second of my life.
And I can't buy all 3 since even when I'm somewhat fed, they're super-expensive.
How do I do it?

My advice would be to find someone to duo-que with, and ask if he could help you last-hit if you're not very good at it.
Other than that, you can just get a Tear of the Goddess, and then focus on AP, and not upgrade it into an AA until way later into the game, either item will solve your mana issues.

Actually, I just tried two games with my new Kassadin build (don't laugh):
-Regrowth Pendant (aka lots of hp pots)
-Mana pot (aka one sapphire crystal)
-Rush philo stone and buy it once you have enough gold (use teleport)
-Catalyst
-Deathcap
-RoA
-New MP5 and HP5 Tenacity item
Regrowth pendant and mana pot allow me to actually dominate mid-lane (I went vs. Kat and vs. Anivia). I actually managed to carry those two games as well (12/5/11, 3/0/6), as I was able to easily dominate early on. Once I get philo stone, I can harrass non-stop and then my catalyst gives me some decent hp and mana, although if I have 1600 gold when I go back, I get my NLR and then get Catalyst. This will only get better next patch once they roll out that MP5 roaming Tenacity item so all my mana regen problems are gone forever.
I'm going to play Kass more, and maybe write a guide about this build once I get enough results with this build.
In the meantime, last-hitting has become easy mode (with all except for ryze, whos animation sucks) and now I just need to figure out positioning in teamfights, since that ******* Olaf always charges to me.

I play a lot of junglers, so if you need any help in those aspects, I'm your man, but I could do my best to help you out in any other area you'd need improvement in. I'm a 1.5K ELO player with 65% win ratio. /endbrag.
