Kayle can either be played passive or aggressive, as the situation and the lane dictates.

For an aggressive support Kayle, take Q + E first, followed by W at level 3. Max Q or W first, and E last. Aggressively zone out the enemy support and/or carry by raging them down with the Q + E combo. Your damage falls off quickly, but in the early levels you can really blow people up with the hlep of your carry. I suggest using Armor Seals and AS Marks if you go this route. You still need gold/10 Quints, though, carry gets the farm and kills so you need gold income somewhere.

For a passive support Kayle, take Q + W, max W first followed by Q. You may want a point in E at level 4, if your carry needs help with pushing waves off the tower against an agressive lane. You want flat Armor Marks, gold/10 Seals/Quints. Your job in this lane is just to keep people from messing with your carry. Nuke anyone who comes close with Q, and keep the carry healthy with W. Between Q's slow, W's heal/MS boost, and ult's invulnerability, your lane should be pretty much ungankable. Get your carry farmed up in peace.

For any Kayle build, the ult is used to prevent BURST DAMAGE, not to save someone at a sliver of health (like Zilean for others, or Tryndamere for himself). If someone gets caught out of position (or grabbed by Blitzcrank/Ahri) you ult them just before the enemy team blows all of their cooldowns trying to kill the caught-out ally, negating potentially thousands of damage. You use it on your Nocturne that just 1v5 initiated into the center of a group of enemies. You use it on your carry in the middle of a teamfight, when they are outnumbered and getting bursted down (they will lifesteal health back during the ult). You use it to protect your carry in the laning phase from a tower dive, or to tower dive the other team by ulting the person who is tanking turret hits. Etc.
