It's team dependent. If you're going to be babysitting a lot and expect to be pushed, go Soraka. She can hold towers like now other (except maybe Alistar). I can't count how many times I've been dived as Soraka only to heal back all the damage and get our carry a few kills. Not only that, but the global heal helps to save your team's behinds from a Karthus ult or TF gank. It's really kind of sad that she isn't played more though.

As far as Karma goes though, play her when you expect to push the lane more. She can help speed up your carry to go and get a kill and is able to get them in and out of a fight fairly quickly. On top of that she has a smaller heal which will help keep said carry alive while doing so.
