You don't need the ec2snitch necessarily. AFAIK, It's meant to be a "better" way of detecting where your ec2 instances are. But, unless you're popping instances all the time, I don't think it's worth it.
Check out the step-by-step guide on that same page. Pure EC2 api calls to setup your cluster. You can also use rackaware-ness in EC2. Just add in the PropertyFile endpoint and put your rack file in /etc/cassandra/rack.properties.
