@Shianless, you have the Burst Ratio wrong, For a full burst, E used @ max distance, it's 620+170% to 880+210% AP + 20% Armor. Also when fighting Jayce, I found going 21/9/0 AP&Cdr, basic 21/9 Bruiser APC, and 26Armor in Runes I could out-trade him in melee even though he could shoot me 4-5 times for 2 of my melee attacks. Every time I'd have ult up, I'd E > R > W > Melee and by then he'd smack me back. On top of which, if their Jungler is AD based, you don't have to worry about damage, because maxing you W makes them hurt as much as a jellyfish stinging your foot. Just put some Salve(Your Q) on the Wound and get back in the water!

As for a decent build on him, I only play him vs AD Champions, so Cloth + 3Health + 2Mana Pots, rush Seeker's Armguard and T1 Boots, then usually build RoA > Iceborn > Spirit Visage > Zhonya's > Randuin's Omen, and getting Sorc. Boots or Merc. Treads somewhere between Iceborn and Zhonya's.

You end up with like 350Armor, 200Mres, 3.5k HP, massive Heals and decent lategame damage output. With the 30% cdr, it speeds up your heals. Iceborn lets you stick to your enemy. Zhonya's is there for show, I've personally never used it's active on Taric. And Randuin's Omen has a MASSIVE slow duration because of your W's passive.

If the game goes on until you have full build, I initiate teamfights: Flash(If up) > Randuin's > E their ADC > R > W > Proc Iceborn on nearest target. If need be Q > Zhonya's > E > W to finish the fight off. That full burst takes ~3seconds to cast, deals a large chunk of damage, and lets you tank some abilities and maybe 1 or 2 ult's while in Zhonya's active.
