Ardent Censer.... Heal Power can stack???

So I was playing Soraka earlier today, and I was looking at the items and couldn't help but notice that heal/shield power is not a unique passive on Ardent Censer.... So if I got 3 of them, and Windspeaker's Blessing, would that mean 55% bonus healing? All together, making Soraka's healing would be roughly 500 each second with a maxed W..... With Censer being designed for supports, it is also rather cheap.... I expect heavy-healers to become quite overbearing this patch just because the items have literally everything the champions need.

More realistically, she'd get either Athene's or Crucible first, and Censer later. My guess it it'd probably be ideal to do one of the Chalice items, grab the forbidden idol for Censer afterwards, but just sit on the Idol for a while (only 5% less bonus than upgrading it to Censer). Then later in the game, finish off Censer (when the attack speed bonus is a bit more useful because your carry actually has some AS items to multiply against).

even if it isn't a unique passive i don't think the same item can stack stats

It would be the case that could currently push her heals up that high - however, they've already stated that they're planning to nerf Soraka when these items drop to compensate. The sheer existence of heal amps is just unhealthy for healers because they cannot exist with straight buffs when they build the items because Riot will always have to nerf base heals in order to make the healing non-oppressive. This, in turn, means that these healers are required to take these items to be remotely similar to current healing capabilities, which is always bad. Riot should NEVER release items which become mandatory due to them having to reduce power levels to allow for the item to exist. It's like what is even the purpose of these items if the champs using them will still do healing similar to that on live except that they now have to buy an item to do it? To me, this is a backwards nerf, and I don't want these changes to go live at all.
