I probably played her maybe 30~40 games since her release. Her laning phase is very strong against non-gapclosing, non-sustain champions, but her teamfight is awkward because her R's range is fairly low and it's difficult for her to hit her R on a high priority target because she does not have any gapclosers herself.

Well thats a low elo opinion. Good players will predict a soraka ult coming, and ult 3 seconds before she does...

Because Soraka is not going to notice the orbital laser beam pointing at her head.

But that's the beauty of it, if she doesn't ult to counter your ult, your ult kills her team. Thus, you force her to play directly into your hands.

would it be smart to max E as toplane lee sin against irelia and Jax or is maxing W/Q still better?

I hope the Karthus vs Soraka discussion is a joke. Soraka counters Karthus and not the other way around. The problem is not teamfighting when facing Soraka as Karthus, because there both ults just cancel each other more or less.

The real problem is laning. As Karthus you will usually pick up a couple of kills from the other lanes after close fights. A good Soraka can counter this completely.

Karthus hits 16 by the time Soraka hits 11-13, and will build stuff like RoA, DC and Void. Soraka might get a Kage's, but that's about it. She 'counters' him in a sense that you might miss a kill on people who barely got away from a fight if Soraka was ballsy enough not to use it for said fight in the first place. But there just comes a point (usually 20-25 minutes into the game) where Karthus shruggs off her heal and proceeds to fuck up some dawgs. All that aside - Karthus' ult, albeit very strong, isn't what MAKES his kit. I'd argue his passive does that. If that was true, well, I guess Soraka counters you after all - id she's on your team and just won't let you die, even though you've been oom for half the fight.

With the new items and the grail nerf, will chalice be redundant and will tear have a place on more champions now?

You are supposed to max E in both matchups, though a mix of W and E does work.

Stuff like that needs to be figured out, pretty sure you can't make accurate statements yet.

I think you're totally missing the point. I'm talking about laning, not late-game teamfighting. By the time you hit lvl.16 laning will be mostly over. She doesn't really interfere with your late-game. She interfers with your ability to rack up kills during laning before lvl.16. If you win your lane, that doesn't really matter. But the "beauty" of Karthus is, that you can be forced to farm under tower and still have global map presence. Soraka takes that away from you.

Didn't Riot respond to a post someone here made about the jungle and say that they'd be looking into it?

A typical soloQ situation for Karthus to use his R in would be, say, after your jungler dove top and the opponent got away with a sliver of health. Realistically, not using Soraka ult when someone on your team gets dove is just horrible idea, which makes Karthus' ult really effective. Besides, it's not that hard to time Soraka ult and use yours when hers is on CD. I do agree that Soraka makes it HARDER for Karthus to rack up kills and become that unstoppably force late game, but she does not make it impossible. Conveniently, Karthus is one of the best farmers in the game, so if the Karth player has a clue, he'll likely still have decent items come late game.
