If you don't mind me being picky of your dislikes:
 * It is true the armor buff is no more an aura, but instead it is a more targeted support to one specified allied. Along with providing a better buff (10/12.5/15/17.5/20% compared to 12% at all ranks), there is more intention in Taric's moves than simply "I'll stand here... and let you all get a buff".
 * Riot are moving away from click-and-hit stuns, as they want counterplay out of abilities. The stun is buffed from single-target to multi-target, so it is all fair that it also become dodgeable.
 * I also presume that you dislike telegraphed attacks, such as Veigar's W, although those are what setups a smarter gameplay.
 * To improve from being a single-target support into an Aoe support, you ask for too much goodness. This is not even a nerf but more of a complaint.
 * 14 second cooldown at most, not counting CDR. Even without a Bastion, Taric benefits from the passive's buff (if you think that armor buff is insignificant, think again). It is not a null ability if you take a simple look.
 * Taric was an aura of free stats to allies, which is what RIOT wished to move away from. Just like how they trimmed down so that her abilities have more intention/thought placed into them before being initiated, the same was done with Taric and his abilities.
