First though - far, far, faaar too expensive for a support like Taric. If you're getting last hits instead of your carry, if he's not shit and you're not expected to carry the whole game - you're doing it wrong and should switch to a different Champion, perhaps an AP carry.

But, let's assume we're not talking Taric here or you are indeed expected to carry the whole game by yourself. First of all, this build is expensive - probably possible but in a long game and you will have to farm well with Shatter. Secondly, there's a major flaw in your item order and it's Rod of Ages - you're saying that you want to get Fiendish Codex, Mercury Threads and Aegis of Legion *before* getting Rod of Ages and in order to get the most benefit out of it, you have tu rush it. So either you should build it asap and go for Codex, Aegis etc. later or you should take it out of your build completely, because if the game will not last 1 hour+ and you will spend your first 4-5k gold on other items, there's a good chance you will either not be able to even complete RoA or it won't fully charge and you will not get the full benefit out of it, which is kinda the point.

Aside from that, I would say that there's too many different stats. You've got some Auras, you've got AP, attack speed, tanky stuff - it doesn't really work on Taric so you will have to pick one - either you go for support like it should be (i.e something like TSM build, with some gold/5 items, Aegis of Legion and lots of Wards), Aura support with Aegis, Soul Shroud/Will of the Ancients etc. full AP, kinda like Sion - Rabaddon's, Lich Bane, full Tank (only if your team doesn't have one, I guess) with Randuin's Omen, Frozen Heart, Banshee's Veil etc. or some silly Attack Speed pusher build, utilizing your ultimate's AD buff with Nashor's Tooth, Rageblade, Malady etc. There's no point in mixing all that because you won't have enough of anything for it to matter. It's better to pick your role and stick to it instead of trying to do a little bit of everything.
