Taric is currently a very situational champion in that you should only pick him if he is going up against a team of at least 50% Attack Damage rather than ability power. If the aforementioned stealth champion is AP, then you just shouldn't pick Taric. But if it's an AD champion like Shaco, then that would be a decent pick.

The Hextech Sweeper and Frozen heart comination isn't a bad choice, but seeing as you said that you would reach max CDR right away, I personally would build the Hextech Sweeper with a Randuin's Omen and would therefore still have the potential to build CDR without it going to waste like with IBG and Spirit Visage. It's a slightly less armour build, and the mana sustain isn't going to be as much, but on the Twisted Treeline and Crystal Scar, you won't need it as much with the buffed mana regeneration and recall times.

This is a very situational question and you should experiment with it yourself to see what works best in your play style. Try some custom games with a friend or have the opposing champion be played by an intermidiate bot. If you leave early the custom game won't show up in your match history so you can try it as much as you want, in every way you want.
