Though this is a technically very good item indeed, it is kinda outshone by others from my point of view.

You would need this in early/mid game while laning, but then you could get a RoA for almost the same cash instead which will benefit you a lot more in endgame than the locket. If you just buy it for the mana regeneration you need, an Archangel´s will outshine it as well, giving you lots of AP on top of making your support skills spammable.

On the other hand, if you buy RoA/Archangel first there is no need to buy the Locket endgame, as the regeneration is almost negligible by then, not granting you a significant bonus at all in team fights.

So overall, if you are fed as hell in early game or on a VERY mana intense support you can consider this in mid game, otherwise I would not buy it as it becomes really weak lateron.
