I used it for a while after the Innervating Locket was removed from the game but i haven't used it in a long time. There was a patch that altered champion mana regeneration giving more initial regen and less per level. That combined with the cheapening of her skills and Level 3 mana regen yellows really made tier unnecessary. A philosopher stone is by far a better choice as it gives a lot of mana and health regen + gp10. This is especially true since the support should not be getting any CS. With proper play this will be all the mana you really need. If you find yourself running low in long exchanges just upgrade the philo stone and it doubles those values and gives you your Tenacity item. I have never seen a pro player use tier on any support character, except maybe Taric before they killed his ult.
