Iceborn works really, really well on Taric. I always get it first on a Bruiser Taric build.

It really increases his burst potential early on; pop your Ult, Shatter, AA. Your Ult gives you AD, whilst Shatter reduces Armor - your enemy will be surprised how much damage you'll be throwing out.

Later on, once you get some attack speed, you will be able to spam your heal if you just have someone to stick to and AA a lot, allowing you to proc Iceborn efficiently.

I don't know about TF though. It's really strong right now, but I think the Mana and Armor help Taric a lot more. Stacking resistances increases the effectiveness of the heal.
