Well you have to think about it from effective heals

Deciding what your first target will be decides how it'll bounce and thus the actions of Ebb and Flow. If you target an enemy the effective damage will be 460 with a 1.0 AP scaling spread across 2  enemies. With a primary ally target it'll be a 370 with a .6 AP scaling heal spead across 2 allies.

While the damage still superceeds the heal you have to keep in mind that a high healing ability effectivly allows her and her lane partner to stay in lane for a very long amount of time, (i.e: Soraka.) Unlike Soraka though, who is really a passive stats upkeep support, Nami is an agressive support that combines in CC with a number of different helpful stats such as the damage increase on Auto-Attack and her capability to heal IS a bonus. Champions like Nautilus and Leona can support simply because of their CC but provide no buffs or heals to their lane partner. Nami combines in buffs, stats, CC, and a heal. So for now, try maxing her Ebb and Flow and she consists in damage and healing
