Taric has a pretty versatile skill order. Generally you don't need to start leveling up your ultimate until team fights break out and you need a bit more survivability. If your team is doesn't have a much AD/auto-attackers, however, it still might be better to bolster Shatter at times.

Generally, you max Dazzle last because your stun duration does not change according to rank. I tend to start working on Imbue after that for babysitting. If my lanemate isn't losing much health or we're taking a lot of damage from an AD champion, Shatter takes priority because it gives you that tasty armor aura and has a surprising amount of early burst damage which is especially nice for assisting an ambushing jungler.
