Personally, I think she is a decent mage, but her damage is all placed in the abilities that are the hardest to land (Q and ult) so you lose tons of DPS if you miss them. It's all about your level of skill with her and ability to anticipate. Her ult allows for some interesting long-range roaming play if you catch enemies by surprise, and her overall utility is great for teamfights (she's designed to be a support after all).

As for builds, Max CDR is pretty much essential on Nami. If you get blue often, Athene's is all you'll need as far as a CDR item goes. It also helps out with any of Nami's mana issues, too. Boots of Swiftness is ok, but I prefer Sorcerer's Shoes, as Nami has good enough mobility with her passive. Everything else looks good to me!
