^ ... which equals to 10 armor in late game without items.

Taric still has his secure stun and now got additional damage. It's not a that hard nerf as you expect it.

Concerning all the other supports: I love Theorycrafting, but you just say the upsides. Lulu and Janna e.g. has no heal, whereas Taric has. Taric's stun is singletarget, but way longer than Janna's Knockup. Soraka's AoE MRes will give the apc an advantage, and only him, and not that much of it. You won't get more than 5 stacks in a teamfight... Sona has really great utility, but no real CC pre-level 6. And to accomplish all the things you mentioned, she needs mana as hell, whereas Taric needs mana too - but can replenish it well enough by attacking.

We'll have to see what future brings. It's firstly still PBE and secondly who knows what they are doing to compensate a bit (i could think of a Ultimate-Remake to make him more "feelingly" rewarding in lategame teamfights).
