The way i see it, if i cast a full charge, lvl 4 Q, it costs 20 more mana than a lvl 2 Q, but heals twice as much regardless of what it's current scaling is (Econ Concept Of The Day: Marginal Analysis). Also, I am never "Spamming" anything unless in an all out fight. Casting all your abilities as soon as they come up will run you out of mana very quickly regardless of what you max.

I heal when the adc needs it, shield when he doesnt, and stun when needed. Also it only costs 110 mana at level 5, and it is very easy to get the charge up to at least four every time you cast it in combat. I get iceborn to slow the enemy. As well as to replace the damage loss from not maxing E. I understand that taric can easily kill people, i have doublekilled before as well, but i prefer to have the adc do it(I KS enough with Bravado alone somehow).

In an all out fight, i may lose mana more, and have to recall at the end, but franklym and the end of an all out fight, i'm either dead or in a position to recall anyways.

As far as not healing as much early game goes, thats a little irrelevant because THEY DO LESS DAMAGE early game.

I also make very good use of my relic shield stacks to allow me to proc bravado off of minions to bring cooldowns down

Maxing Q last, like you do, means your heal is very mid-limited late game, and will probably be mostly insignificant in terms of actually keeping people alive. It will be healing for early game amounts of damage against mid-late game carries.

How does iceborn make me a selfish dick exactly? it:                                                                                                             -Gives me CDR to heal, shield and stun more. -Gives me mana to heal, shield and stun more. -Gives me armor which I share, and also make me able to soak up more damage. -Allows me to slow the opponent, making it harder for them to flee.
