Who Wins

Pre-6, you win this lane: your level 2 spike (E+Q) is one of the hardest all-ins in the game and Soraka has no hard CC or escape to stop it, making early kills highly accessible if Lucian overextends even slightly.
Post-6, you retain the advantage because your R provides a long-range engage that Soraka cannot heal through fast enough when combined with Senna's damage.

Your best trading pattern is to walk up with W active to stack resistances, then E onto Lucian (not Soraka) to force Soraka to choose between healing him and repositioning — if she stays to heal, she takes Senna's damage; if she runs, Lucian dies.
Never engage onto Soraka first; she is the correct kill target only when Lucian is already committed and cannot peel for her.

You should not roam pre-6 — your value is entirely in your engage threat keeping Lucian and Soraka pinned in lane, and leaving gives them a free reset and wave.
Post-6, roaming mid after a successful all-in that burns Lucian's flash is correct, but only if the wave is shoved into their tower so Senna does not lose CS while you are gone.

Do not use E onto Lucian when he has E available and is standing at max range — he will simply dash away and your cooldown is wasted, giving Soraka time to heal any poke damage.
Avoid hard engaging when Soraka has full mana and is standing close to Lucian; her W heal combined with Q slow can negate your all-in if Lucian survives the initial burst.
