You max W if you need heals in lane, and it doubles as a poke too. 130 mana is a hefty cost, however, if you manage to hit at least 1 opponent and 1 ally, you can think you spent 75 mana for poking an opponent and 75 mana for healing an ally.

You max E if you realize you won't need a lot of healing and 1) your opponents are not mobile (E slows is enough to keep them at bay) 2) you/your ADC can poke them safely for a lesser mana cost than W. On top of that, Tidecaller's Blessing synergizes really well with Spellthief's Edge.

Maxing Q does not seem bad on chart but you will do that for its increase in damage only, which isn't the skill feature anyway. You have a Sona ulti (1.5 seconds stun) with just one rank in Aqua Prison, that's the important thing :)
