Once upon a time he was tagged as support but never been played as one.

Anyway, the reason for that is his high mana cost spells and with low mana regeneration. His mana regeneration is like other tank supports but his spell costs are like mage supports. So you are not able to harras early effective, and also you are not a strong tank early. This make him not very usefull early game, and if you loose your lane, you will not have a late game to shine.

Ofcourse if you consider you will be OK in your lane with Galio, you can make some  nice wombo combo for late. You have a nice poke, when you got mana item and your CC is ansane. Whatmore, everyone play assassins these days (cause of the rework) who target your carries. Well, try to oneshot the marksman with resists from Bulwark ;)
