Sona isn't bottom tier, people just complain that she is because she was the best support in all aspects then was made balanced. I see her as a jack of all trades support with auras for offense, defense, chasing, and running. That obviously means she won't be best in class in all of them. And when you have an ultimate as good as hers? It makes sense. She is still a good support, just not as crazy in lane as before where she could poke for high damage+heal and it would be difficult to win lane against her.

If you really have mana problems take the mana and mana regen in utility. Then budget your mana. Between that and a philosophers you should have enough. If you still need more there is always chalice. Which by itself is not too costly for support being 900 ish gold.
