Her E is actually pretty good against gapclosers, since it prevents enemies from using them while in the zone. You just need to cast it directly on top of your opponents or, failing that, on top of you as you try to escape. Her heal also costs health and not mana so that she puts herself at risk when outputting her massive healing power (it's why it also has such a short cast range). Mana is mostly there as a gate to her Q, but otherwise her gameplay revolves around transferring damage away from her team by shifting it from her allies to herself, then to her opponents. It's difficult to see what your complaint about Soraka is, specifically.
