Depends on how you play her. She's actually got enough healing if you get RoA to justify windspeakers blessing as weird as that seems. Thunderlord trumbs deathfire in almost every situation in my experience.

Which runes you get depends on the items you get. For example I prefer seraph's over morello, so I get CDR/lvl runes so I can get the cdr cap, and still have the mana shield + extra mana. I also prefer scaling runes with low-risk gameplay til later, since I consider her best in the lategame, where she needs the runes, or when teamfights start where allies are more important than the runes. The runes are also as strong as the flat ones by level 6, so you should be able to be safe til then. You're in midlane usually, so you're not at risk of being completely pushed out of lane at any point, and you have good fallbacks on cass. If you're going top, which I wouldn't recommend, you're going to need flat runes because you're always contesting and being run out of lane is a constant threat.
