It's doesn't actually pack a large base damage nor does it pack a large ratio compared to other ap mids for their ults, the cc is delayed so the knockup isn't always a guarantee and if your on the very edge you have a chance to backup to ignore the initial damage (even having the potential to flash out and dodge the entire skill). Considering her w doesn't provide any instant damage (requiring enemies to stand still for dps), and her q is mediocre for her main dps skill I'd say she needs every bit of damage her ultimate has.
