Personally, I consider AD builds for her to be absolute Troll builds and don't bother. I've seen them work with some players who do it and it works well for them. I wouldn't bother because I actually LIKE playing support. I like being that target that any smart team throws all their carries at and then has them beat the hell down by the rest of the team. I like being the one looking all innocent and wandering in a lane by myself as bait then when their DPS decides 'Oooh! Target!'...my Panth jumps out the bush with an Aegis on and eats them alive. :D I like playing support a LOT. Between Sona, Janna, Karma - I always pick them.

For my premade with friends, I play the starvation build. Teleport + Imp Clar for my tank or carry in the lane w/ Fairie + 1xHP Pot + Ward starter game > Philstone > Plain boots > Heart Of Gold > finish boots depending on opposing team makeup and whether or not I'm getting focused/chased a lot (most times Merctreads, swiftness other times) > Finish Shurelya and rebuy another Phil to keep gold and regen up > HoG goes to Randuin's if game prolongs and I use it to pick up assists and slows on enemies w/Shurelya to get my team to fights faster w/speed aura. During game, my carry usually gives me the blue buff so I can aura-push the lane and heal for teamfights. I take ward responsibility as the game goes along and whatever lane I happen to be alone in is very well warded and I don't push alone for long periods. Mid to end-game depending on enemy team w/runepage = magicpen RED, manaregen YELLOW, CDR/level GREY and MS Quints I'm always at 40% full CDR with Shurelya and Randuin and nearly uncatchable unless a carry or DPS aims solely for me. If the game goes south with casters/Kass/Karth-I add a BV to my build early before I finish Randuin's, My carries are fed by last hits on minions with me just pushing them forward early and mid game and I take free kills where I can. Common ending stats for me are about 10-13/0-5/5-10 if I don't get overly focused down or chased and my DPS don't leave me hanging.

Sona by herself can carry an entire team to victory once you have DPS and a tank who are willing to watch you and push. Heck, I've had a game where a Garen and a Jarvan were willing to die just to keep me out of the graveyard. :D
