Just got stuck with Kalista support as Kog, and I've got to say, it worked out really well (vs. Thresh/Graves). Thanks to Kalistas W we could stay aggressive during the whole laning phase (superb AA harass and permanent wards), and later-on at level 6, a well timed Kalista ult is just a perfect counter: Dodge damage/CC and get a free initiation. The synergy later in the game was godly as well: We both went for Runaans, and Kalista finished up with a Malet. From that point on, nothing could harm me anymore. Never had a game that forgiving as Kog'Maw. (Dia IV ranked game)

Though I had to face negative points as well. For example, if Kalista attacks a minion applying W and you finish it, the gold goes to Kalista (I wonder how that would interact with GP's Q). Therefore there's no help when last hitting under tower, and even shoving the lane becomes a kinda tricky task. Also, because of the non-crit Runaans build, 1vs1's weren't really an option.
