Tanky Soraka isn't viable anymore because it's always 10% of your health. At best this means more health but really this means you have to Q and hit more along with having good health regen and Base Health.

This peels away from the tanky build which invovles magic resistance and armor. Part of what made tank Soraka also work is that you shredded people for more and healed the damage they inflicted on you while also giving yourself or someone else decent armor buff.

Older Soraka was just far more enabled for surviving a fight with sustain and shred. Hence Tank Soraka.

Newer Soraka doesn't have that option. No more rapid shred. And heal just heals. I wouldn't buy Spellthief full stop. I'd get Coin and upgrade it and keep it no less. The health you get from regen and it's passive keeps you in lane longer. Mikeals. Not Athenes. Your lack of personal healing at a moments notice makes Mikeal quite useful as a pick me up in a sustained fight and it's still an extra heal that peels.

Rabbadons is fairly inappropriate for a support to build. If you are that grossly ahead you can build whatever. Rylai's is also a little expensive and not best on Soraka because she has slows. Get Ardent Censer instead. Every heal will now give your allies AS which means when you ult you give everyone a AS boost. Great for teamfights and with a AD heavy comp. I'd get Twin Shadows as well. Not only am I having a personally good movement speed I get to slow anyone down who is trying to focus me and it makes face checking bushes to ward safer.

Other than that I think a Rightous Glory does the job of getting the needed health and mana stats.
