I'm pretty sure things are as Odaswifteye says; Karma's a strong AP mid and support. I'd like to play her top more, but nobody seems to like her top despite her frequent success and advantages up there (range versus melee champs, self-peel, some sustain with her RW). Really, aside from maybe Janna and some other pure supports, Karma's the peeling queen. I can sometimes evade the entire enemy team in their own jungle as full support Karma with max CDR and Frost Queen's Claim, just RW healing myself and rooting their melee and speeding myself up until my team can split push a turret down or come help. And if her team's ahead, support Karma can drop all pretenses of subtlety, sell off her support items for pure AP, and just go to town.

Karma has plenty of uses no matter what the meta might be, and her only real weakness is that she's squishy. But then again, so are most mages. Her versatility and ability to fit into many team compositions is what makes her a strong champ; she doesn't particularly need a special niche when she fits so many. I think the fact she doesn't have a niche is why people generally don't play her that much, since she isn't as "well-defined" as other champs.
