Thresh is a top tier support because he both has an above average defensive and offensive potential.

Defensieve wise, Dark Passage may save a life from a 1vs5 situation without much effort and the combination of Thresh's crowd controls (Death Sentence, Flail and The Box) is generally enough to keep nasty assassins and fighters away from your squishies.

Offensive wise, a single Death Sentence may actually be... a death sentence. The Box damage is really high and your Flail boosted auto attacks hit like a truck on squishy targets.

All of this consider, i don't feel like saying that Thresh is only good for his Dark Passage gap closer...
