Oh, she does have raw damage, but she's more of a sustained caster as opposed to a burst caster, she's definitely inferior to LeBlanc in that area; she's clearly no support though, as the post from Riot speaks volumes about her immense power and ability to kill by "stunlock".

I think she's quite similiar to a Zyra to a degree, only that while Zyra deals in sustained damage as a mage, Lissandra seems to take the Mage-Assassin approach. She CAN indeed kill your character pretty quickly, but her danger wouldn't lie in her raw damage output as much as it seems to lie in her ability completely incapacitate your champion and pick you apart over time.
