Now that i've read it all, i find it's a pretty good guide to AD taric. Just want to add some things:

-Since you didnt mention masteries & runes, i'll just go ahead and tell mine, but note that i play(ed) him jungle. It was 21-0-9, taking movement speed in Utility. I find MS really helps catching up with enemies to land the stun, and from there on you alrdy know how easy it is to kill.

-For runes, i took (Reds) 3 AS, 2 ArPen, 4 AD; (Yellows) flat armor; (Blues) i forgot, take whatever; (Quints) MS.

The runes and masteries were aimed at clearing jungle decently fast, because after many tests i found that was AD taric's weak point when played jungle. Didn't need any survivability other than armor yellows, because of the passive, Q, and W.

The last thing i want to add is how awesome Youmuu is on him, i take it instead of one of the PD in your build. Combined with W and Cleaver, it gives yourself even more ArPen. The CDR gives you even more frequent healing, burst damage and stuns. Last but not least, the active is amazing after a stun: pop it just after R + W, and you're a monster DPS machine for long enough to kill any squishy before they can do anything.
