as an aura bot, Sona's job was not always to heal up your team. it one of her jobs, but her main duty is to manipulate your auras and passive. for example, to initiate that surprise attack in lane, you'll want to coordinate with your carry about when to activate your song of celerity and attack your enemy support/carry with that power chord, activate hymn of valor, and letting the carry get the kill. always build philo, HoG, cd boots and upgrade that philo to shurelya's when it's time to get dirty. i find myself always building other aura items such as aegis or FH when the tank is lacking one or the other.
