You are really really really underestimating a taric and a bruiser just steamrolling an entire team together because he just heals the guy constantly while the bruiser punches everyone's face in. Also, constant stunning is quite annoying. In terms of actuall effect on a fight he's actually quite impressive, even without the stats.

It does however require a bit more effort than say blitz since you need to hit more than a single spell to get the full effect. Simply making that single spell a straightforward skillshot really doesn't add much in terms of skill, much as the lol community seems to think it does (seriously, it's a straight line, it's not difficult to hit with after a bit of practise to get the hang of the travelspeed... It's that there's no momentum and people can spin on a dime, otherwise it'd be hilariously easy to hit things with...)

There's however a major issue. Ever since season 2 or so this game has revolved more and more about making it a flashy e-sport, and fights that last more than 2 seconds aren't flashy. Sadly Taric's kit isn't fit for that since he needs fights to actually be you know a fight, instead of just (near) insta-kills. Which makes him feel quite weak if it goes badly, because then he never actually gets to do much. While someone like blitz really only exists for that one grab and then he might as well dissapear from the fight... But really, this isn't so much a flaw in taric's kit as just a rather major flaw in the balancing philosophy....
