Even though this was posted so long ago, I guess I'll respond to it.

Supports usually take Clairvoyance because everyone has Flash (and if you're a jungler, you take Smite instead, to not take Smite is foolish) so that's one summoner spell already taken. Since you can only have two summoner spells, that leaves one left. In any role besides support, that one is probably best left for a summoner spell that will help you more in a fight like Ignite, Exhaust, or even Surge (and if you're the jungler, it's probably Flash or Ghost to help with ganking). The support in particular doesn't need a summoner spell for fighting so he or she is kinda expected to take Clairvoyance.

If your support doesn't take it, they're being foolish. You could take it yourself if you're not the support but that would leave you without a way to level the playing field in a fight.

Hope that answers it for you, although you probably know a bit more about clairvoyance by now.
