I do not like Leona's farm very much btw. Only played her once but early on she can be harassed. bot by a good ad carry. The problem with Leona is she doesn't fit the meta game very well right now, in the early game at least. Her passive makes her so good in a duo but meta suggests going top.
This sounds right to me. It is difficult to work anything but a healer down bottom with the AD carry right now because how do you stand up against THEIR healer/AD when you try? Janna works because she can shield the damage as a sort of preemptive heal, the other "supporty" champs with no heals tend to not measure up down there.
But to me it begs the question I've been dying to know, how fast is Leona's jungle? How long does it take her to clear the first wave and how safely can she do it?
Her skill set sounds like it would make for some amazing ganks out of the jungle, especially if she can keep relatively pace with some of the other big junglers.
Also if you are going to send her top in a "real" team line up, I would suggest packing teleport.
When Malz runs TP then enemy team knows whats going to happen at level 6, but with a TP on Leona you could arrange for level 3 TP ganks bottom that should be amazing.
Just some musings though. I probably wont have too much change to play before I take off on Monday (too much to do still) and then I'll be gone for 2 weeks. I hope the game doesn't change too much by the time I'm back ^_^
