Some criticisms:
 * I am generally not fond of Corrupting Potion first buy. I was a fan of Crystalline Flask starts but this actually gave me more sustain overall as I could actually buy biscuits and potions alongside it. I guess it could be pretty good against an all-in or trade-heavy duo because of the extra magic damage but I feel gold is better spent elsewhere.
 * You have too much CDR in your second build.
 * Anything per level runes are a complete waste on supports. You're going to be the lowest level of any champion in the game and it will not become efficient on you until around level 9 (I believe). I'd just run flat AP glyphs and work on improving your health efficiency in the lane phase.
 * vs was tricky for me but Soraka's health regeneration is still among the worst in the game, even if it is a 200% bonus. The regeneration you get will not be nearly enough to keep up with your W usage and you aren't running much armour or magic resistance to improve the effective health you get. You'll have more impact shaving a few dozen seconds off the cooldown of Exhaust or Heal.
