Uh, the only AP champions that can burst people down from 100% to nothing are assassin champions. Nor did I say that that is what she needs to do- the issue with Morgana is she wins pretty much every trade in lane due to Shield negating most mids' damage, while her Spellvamp heals anything that gets through after the shield finally breaks.

She CAN, however, burst someone if they are under half health against her if she has ult up. All she has to do is land Binding, then immidiately toss out W and hit R. If she doesn't land binding, that's fine, she doesn't have to blow all her skills. But if she does land her Q, it's either a guaranteed flash, burned mobility skill (in the case of Kassadin or Ahri, for example), or kill. If they don't happen to have a mobility skill, it's a burnt summoner spell or a dead enemy, and flash has a longer CD than her ult, so you can just do it all again when they come back to lane after backign to heal.

Just clarifying that I do in fact understand she can't insta-gib people. But she's certainly a threat to the enemy AP mid if they aren't careful- Morgana really, really punishes taking risks. And if you don't take risks, you can't shut down her AFK farming, and she scales better than most AP mids.
