Song of Flame's current bonuses should be intrinsic for Radiance. Make it outright have support capabilities, instead of having to spec for them. Song of Flame should then be reworked into the original Viking Funeral perk, but have it only work WHILE under the effects of Radiance.
That would somewhat alleviate the issue of how useless their Super can be. Radiance would outright be support-esque like Ward of Dawn and Shadowshot, and could then spec for three things with their Super: Added offense with Viking Funeral (Like Weapons of Light and Quiver), added defense with Radiant Skin (Like Blessing of Light and Black Hole), or a unique form of utility with Fireborn (Like Armor of Light and Blood Bound).
Maybe some buffs to other things like Angel of Light, or some minor nerf reversions to Firebolts and Flame Shield, and bam you got a decent subclass again.

This is exactly my point. Shadowshot and Ward of Dawn give support from the get go without selecting any other modifiers from the skill tree or wearing exotic armor. Whoever designed Sunsingers wasn't thinking reasonably.

I'm pretty sure they weren't intended to be a support class originally, at least not in the sense of Ward of Dawn.

I think it was poorly designed from the beginning, It seems, they wanted the subclass to be the healer/DOT class but never got anywhere. Remember Bungie had to rework most of Destiny one year prior to release.
