It's quite possible that that Soraka you saw was desperately waiting for heal to come off CD because she spent it on someone else. Something to keep in mind is that even with maxed CDR, very often in teamfights you will get to use your targeted heal only ONCE, and you will almost never get to use it more than twice. This means you have to budget it the same way you would budget, say, Zilean's ult. It is really tempting to heal the first person who could use it, but sometimes you have to hang on to it until it would stop a killing blow.

To paraphrase Swain's quote: If you can find the time to ask Soraka for a heal, you don't need the heal yet. :P
