Anything less than full AP Soraka is an abomination and should be deleted! More seriously, that'll get you through laning fine, though you are making a sacrifice of short-term burst healing for long-term sustain.

Debatable about that last point. I personally don't really have mana problems on Soraka since I start with 2 mana potions and rush Forbidden Idol right after Sightstone. If I'm out of mana and need to go home I just spam W on whoever needs health ever before I leave.
