Yeah.. But it also does a surprising amount of damage, and is an AOE nevertheless, which makes it pretty potent in teamfights. I think it should be left as is, because I believe it's primarily designed not for poking but for "fuck you, jungle dude, get off my ADC".

Surging Tides should be maxed first, regardless, for poke and sustain. From there, in mid (not the best lane for her, but alas), Q, or E at bot. The stun doesn't scale with levels, so level 1 at bot is fine, and the DPS boost from E will help a carry win trades. Or make Nami herself a less appealing target given she can throw a double wit's end on her AA's.
