Haven't faced one that gave me trouble as a support main (then again I play a lot of Janna who's a big fuck you to that kind of champion, wherever they lane).
It can work with his CC as an aggressive kill lane support, plus he makes good use of Relic Shield I suppose, however I don't see this as being optimal as he scales pretty hard with farm and items (2 things that the support role will deprive him of), so if his lane does not win hard, he will have significantly less to offer to his team than other supports such as Morgana, Nami, Thresh, etc.
