Krufix did a great job answering your questions. The best I can do is give you some tips as a Karma support Main. She does have some problems against some tanky supports early game since she can't damage them, so the best thing to do is to focus on taking out the adc because later you get scary.

1) Make sure you have 10% Cdr in your masteries, and take the mana and gold stuff in the utility tree.

2) pick up your items like spellthief, a ward, 2 pots

3)First back is always Sightstone if you can. Rush this item, no questions this is the law with all supports.

4) Work on Magic penetration over Damage. Your main damage items will be Void Staff, and Liandry (your Q burns for the full amount at nearly 1k range). Sorcerers Shoes are prefered but, if you really want the cdr you can get Ionia boots.

5) The rest are situational. Mikael's Crucible if you need to negate CC, Banner of Command for team magic resist and AP (active is okay in silver/Bronze), Morellonomicon if there are very dangerous healers, Zhonya if you need AD.

My prefered build atm is Sorcerer's Shoes, Ruby Sightstone, Liandry, Void Staff, Banner of Command(BoC), and Zhonya. Makes you very tanky, gives crazy damage regardless of who you are facing, but mana can be an issue if you aren't used to it so switch BoC to Mikael's Crucible if you want. Beyond that practice warding. I believe there are maps online for this.
