"long range poke": Since she doesn't have a heal pre-6, you're either maxing shield or sheep first. Lvl 1 Q is not strong at all.

"MS/AP damage buff": Okay, now you can't sheep for 18 seconds.

"A 2.5 sec disable": So you maxed sheep first and used it? Now you have no MS/AP damage buff for 12-18 seconds. Also, you have a lvl 1 shield. The enemy has a Sona that keeps their ADC at full health, while your ADC is scared to CS.

"A shield": Yay, this is what makes her a support. Max this first and you have a 1.5 second polymorph except they can run while they're sheeped. Taric has a 1.5 second stun at lvl 1 except they can't move...

"A massive single target heal + short knockup.": Congrats, you and your ADC survived to level 6. However, your ADC only has half the CS as the enemy CS and he's at low health. They're stronger than you so you've already used your ult to save him once, but it'll be back in 110 seconds. Sona pokes you hard and then stuns you and your ADC. Both of you die a horrible death.

tl:dr; Lulu is probably one of the weakest supports pre-6. If you manage to make it out of the laning phase tied or stronger than the enemy, then Lulu does actually become a monster mid to late game.
