Someone actually thinks Taric's new passive is in ANY way worse that his old one?

His old one was completely useless. He couldn't hit minions when he's supporting so he could never use it, and top lane he didn't do very much damage. Now he has some amazing auto attack harrass.

And Nasus' passive is incredibly synergistic with his kit. He can lifesteal off all of the damage of his Q.
