Im not a Soraka fanboy, but if you really want to try her in solo lane, try her in mid against a pokey mage like Ziggs or Lux. Max Q, build ap and CDR and you have a more than decent support mage in mid, you have strong/annoying/decent poke with Q and E, and if needed you can push the lane with Q and its low CD. Sure you wont be instabursting anyone, but your team in teamfights will be thanking you.

Also people say your w is wasted in solo lane, but in fact you can heal minions and troll with your opponent´s last hits, especially if he/she is farming under tower. Obviusly you dont spam this trick everytime you can because you can get low on HP, but with Q sustain you should be doing fine.
