I've been playing a ton of Sivir since her rework, and the reason is actually pretty simple. Smart use of your abilities means you'll never run out of mana - you should only be throwing BB when you know it'll hit without touching many minions, and it only takes a couple to bring your opponent down to half health - so the mana battery aspect is pretty pointless.

On the other hand, the rest of Soraka's kit doesn't really mesh with Sivir well. Sivir relies on having a support that has high kill potential - she can't play footsies with autoattacks against the enemy adc generally because of her awful range so what gives her lane presence and keeps the enemy from simply walking up to you is the threat of being bursted down instantly rather than being harassed by autoattacks. Soraka really doesn't do... that.
