Funny thing is, Thresh does insane damage late-game for a support. His Q is basically adds the number of your souls to your AD, so he can help with damaging enemies quite nicely. And that in-lane poke!

I generally don't mind people trying him in other roles, as long as they won't force me to give up on playing him as a support. I'm starting to grasp him better and better, and dare to say he is most complicated and satisfying support champion (and I say this as a frequent Taric, Leona and Nami player). The sheer amount of "my-my, you're so screwed" in his kit is insane. You can toy with the enemies, grab their souls and become the ultimate terror who is too durable to focus, but too dangerous when left to do his thing (I like to call it "Singed syndrome").

As for "support role is boring"... Some people just never realised that era of sustain botlane with Soraka being top-pick ended long ago. Now it's all about action, about plays, today the ADC that carries the whole team is often (not always, often) carried to such state by his support. Supports hold power, a grim power of the mastermind who sits in the back and lets other do the dirty work, while he creates opportunities. It's not better than other roles, as all of them are equally important, but it's neither boring nor unfun.

And the new era of supports (much better design and much more gold and items) is making all that better. I loved Nami, and was looking forward to next supps, but Thresh... he surpasses my expectations.

Play him where you want, people. I will support with him and have on hell of fun. Soul-slurping fun.
