I'd say the reason Ali isn't used too much is that much of the time, he isn't able to properly separate the adc from the support... while the headbutt+pulverize combo is famous, it requires split-second timing, and is kinda difficult for the untrained majority to pull off...combined with the comparatively high cost of spells early game (though even I'll agree most heal supports have high mana costs early), most of the other supports seem to be a safer pick...but again, this is what i believe, and may be different....
