It's not the worst item ever... just the most common of those I don't agree with. The only other health+AP item is RoA, and it comes with about the same health and AP, but you get mana you don't really need instead of a passive that isn't the best. So the options aren't the best. If her AP scaling were a little higher, it might be more worth it.

If I'm getting health, usually I'm getting either Warmog's, or something like Sunfire Cape; you need the extra survival early more than you need a chunk of AP. I like getting Abyssal Scepter for a little AP near the very end - the aura works with her passive and with the way Leona should be played in a team.

You might do OK with Rylai's just to spite me, though. I haven't even tried it because it sounds like a wasted passive and too much AP too early, but ymmv.
