keep in mind, with a Muramana your first attack (against a champion while you have full mana) will give you a total bonus (ad + magic damage) of 12% (+20 ad from the basic Muramana) of your max mana.

The bonus mana from Muramana alone would give you 120 extra damage.

Even better, it is mixed damage making it harder to itemize against.

At lvl 18 taric has 1263 mana, so just building a Muramana will give you a total of 407-408 damage on the first strike without factoring in bonus damage from the ult.

even if you have zero mana your damage will be 271-272 per AA

All this from 1 item.

Sure you should not rush it, but to say a Muramana is a bad idea on taric is crazy.

Unless you have zero mana, this offers more damage than a bloodthirster and is much more viable in terms of helping your team.
