MASTERIES
Now most mid players will pick up the 9 points in utility making sure to get the runic affinity. For Karthus, your Q and E are already low cooldown times, so there really isn't a need for the cool down there. And even with max CDR, his ult is still a long cool down. PLUS your mana regen runes and tear of the goddess should help your mana regen situation when you do not have blue buff. But blue buff is still a good thing to have on Karthus when offered by your jungler.
Now I am not saying the getting 9 points in the utility tree is a bad option, I personally like the extra health early game when Karthus is still pretty weak.
RUNES
And for that reason I go for the scaling mana regen seals to help Karthus out when he does not have blue buff for his E, as well as scaling AP glyphs. Late game Karthus R with scaling AP with a nightmare for any player trying to escape a team fight or a great way to initiate a team fight with the enemy team already at third-fourths to half health.
You can play standard runes with Karthus, but I feel it can take away from his mid to late game potential.
SUMMONERS
The second summoners is a toss up between EXHAUST and IGNITE.
Why exhaust? Well you through down the exhaust on your lane opponent, turn on your Defile (E) and just follow him will landing Lay Wastes (Q) and kill him/her. I usually go exhaust with Karthus when my lane opponent had some good escapes.
Either IGNITE or EXHAUST is fine to run on Karthus, but if you are fairly confident that you can land your Wall of Pain (W), turn on your Defile (E), because your laning opponent does not have that great (if any) escapes, then I suggest running ignite.
SKINS (optional obviously)
(Default is fine if you do not buy skins for champs.)
