It's mostely because of his ultimate and his AA play-style. If you were to play Taric as a tank bruiser (which in my opinion is the only realy way to play him) you can deal so much single target damage in an extended fight while hardly taking enough damage in return to worry you. As you build up your resistances and HP, you will become such a scary target that takes a lot of resources to kill all while you can do a massive amount of damage in return. The armour you build will compliment not only his armour shredding ability, but his passive too. That means your AAs will do more after you use an ability like shredding their armour. Add in an Iceborne Guantlet and your damage will be nearly doubled. THEN add in Taric's ultimate which gives another 200 damage... Well you can kill about anyone.

And THAT is why he has 4 points in AD.

Don't build Damage Items on Taric. They won't be half as useful as the other stats. Focus on Resistances, HP, Mana, CDR, and an Iceborne Guantlet. Lets be honest, IBG was designed for Taric. It's the perfect item for him.
