I've had pretty good results with maokai as a support; not jungling, but lane. He has a pretty good amount of CC and you can keep most people at a pretty safe distance by harassing with saplings. He can also sustain himself pretty good with his passive, the only problem being that he is pretty mana-dependent. The saplings also come in handy when checking bushes.
