Runes
Primary
Electrocute
Sudden Impact
Eyeball Collection
Ravenous Hunter
Secondary
Absolute Focus
Scorch
You always want to run the electrocute keystone. It gives the most pressure in the lane phase for all ins.
Sudden impact is a must an can be activated very easily with katarina's shunpo (e).
You can go either ghost poro if you want the extra bit of damage early game, but it is often hard to find time and somewhere to place the poro, so I like to go eyeball collection almost every game for the consistent scaling damage.
Ravenous Hunter is very nice as the healing it gives you will allow you to fully heal of two minion waves late game. You could also change this for relentless hunter which will give out of movement combat speed which will allow you to roam more.
The secondary runes can be swapped to precision and take coup de grace and triumph or resolve for bone plating and revitalize (the extra healing makes it worth it). The insipiration tree can also be used with stopwatch and minion dematerializer which will give you more pressure in lane to roam.

Farming
Lane Phase
You will mostly just farm with your q. Get as much CS as you can but prioritize dodging poke over CS. You want stay healthy for all ins.
Split Pushing
You want to Q the first minion so you dagger lands in between the ranged and melee minions and then E to the dagger and place a W. This will kill all 6 minions if you are fed.
