If they balanced him for top instead of support, he would need some BIG support nerfs to not be OP as a support.

If they want Taric Top, they'd need a more extensive rework than just number tweaking to keep it fair for everyone.

Part of Taric's big strengths are his auras and self+ally heals. Without those, he needs a lot of extra power to prop himself up at top reliably, and that power has to have a trade-off somewhere, because bot lane can't withstand taric with a big buff.
