Taric has no gap closer or escape, one single target cc spell, and is a melee champion. 390 movement speed can work well with many other champions like kalista but won't fly with Taric. Taric needs 410 movement speed at least in order to catch up to opponents so he can get his passive off more often and absorb damage from the enemy team. Ardent Censer is a horrible buy for most supports. Alistar, Karma, and Sona are the only supports that you should even consider buying ardent censer on and even then it is an extremely situational buy. The attack speed buff from AC only affects units that you have healed or shielded for 6 seconds so it isn't a passive aura like aegis. Tarics heal is a single target heal so he can only buff the attack speed of one ally at a time. Tarics heal is on a 14 second cooldown at max rank so he will most likely provide the 25% attack speed buff on a teammate only once during a teamfight. Mana regeneration on Taric is not really an issue after the recent buffs to tank champions mana regen. Spending 2200 gold to essentially only get 27 movement speed and 10% cdr (because ap and mana regeneration are wasted stats on taric) as opposed to getting 65 movement speed, 25 armor, and 10% damage reduction from basic attacks with upgraded ninja tabi boots for 1475 gold is not an optimal move.
