^^Soraka's damage is very mana efficient. If you have mana problems in a solo lane, you are doing it wrong.

The reason you want to play her top/mid (not saying that she's bad as a support) is, because she has a game breaking AoE heal with good scaling. Athene's and Rylai's are godly on Soraka, which is something you can't afford as a support. Support Soraka also won't be tanky enough to make use of her insane base damage.
