I was checking lately how AP runes support Nidalee is viable. She provides higher sustain than Soraka becuase of higher AP ratio and 50% shorter CD on heal but instead of silence, mana replenishement, armor/mr buff and ultimate, gives 240 - 677 long range poke, 20%-60% ias buff and traps to secure bushes. Also, there is insanely high burst on cougar form but it's really situational since she shouldn't get in AD carry range without jungler intervention. Lack of defensive runes is recompensated by cougar stats though. Exact values of heal:

94 heal - 20% ias buff - 9.6 sec cdr - 60 mana 129 heal - 30% ias buff - 9.6 sec cdr - 80 mana 164 heal - 40% ias buff - 9.6 sec cdr - 100 mana 199 heal - 50% ias buff - 9.6 sec cdr - 120 mana 234 heal - 60% ias buff - 9.6 sec cdr - 140 mana

Soraka heals for 70 / 140 / 210 / 280 / 350 but has 19 sec cd.

Not bad, but I think she lacks real support ultimate and thats why there are far better supports: Sona, Soraka, Janna, Yorick, Gangplank. Still better than Nunu though. She has better ias speed buff already and it can be lvld up with heal. I would rather have that poke, heal, bush control, burst and mobility than attack speed debuff and slow.
