If you haven't had much luck with support Soraka, try Battle-raka! Though Soraka still isn't going to be bursting people down, and it's really expensive...I play Battle-raka mainly because once you build a solid amount AP you essentially turn all the champs on your team into tanks--which should pretty much win you every teamfight.

Must buys on Battle-raka are Athene, Rylai, and Liandry. I personally build Athene and CDR boots first since DPS is stronger than AP on Soraka early game->From there I build Rylai for the slow, and Liandry to instill fear in everybody->finally I top things off with a Deathcap and Zhonya (though depending on how much AD damage I'm taking I might build zhonya earlier). This build provides a beautiful amount of AP for heals, Max CDR (you should have 4% from your masteries), a slow on two abilities, 800 health, a stasis active, and decent defense. Movespeed Quints are essential since you need to position well during your Q spam, and Barrier is better for you than Ignite since it helps you stay alive enough to screw over the other team (it actually still activates under certain CC btw). Good luck, have fun, and if anyone doesn't like my build please tell me.
