Currently Taric has a rather weak laning phase. His cooldowns early are rather high and he needs to proc his passive to keep his presence up. This makes him easy to abuse because being close enough to auto enemy minions means free harass from the enemy.

Other than that he has both a really high item threshold for a support and needs levels. He also needs cdr and defenses to maximize his spellcasting and passive procs.

He is a spamming machine once teamfights come around, but just in an awful place as a support because of ability creep. He has basically no ranged harass, his heal eats mana like crazy, and single target stun, even if it is on an incredibly short cooldown, just cannot compete with any of the other supports on any ground.

Really all he is good for currently is countering cheese lanes that are not your traditional support/adc. A point-click ranged stun that doesn't put him next to the enemy is great vs silly things like support Xin or Voli.
