I've been playing support champs recently I've got about 30 games with Taric. I've tried pure AP, AP/tank and Aura tank. So far I've found Aura Taric to be the best. AP builds are okay but heavily dependant on heal to be useful (dazzle does almost no damage at close range, even if you have like 1000AP). Unfortunately in team fights half the time the team mate getting focussed also has an ignite on him so healing him can be quite hard so you're mainly limited to stunning one of his attackers to help him. Getting rather fed up with ignite, I went Aura. Soul shroud for health and CD reduction aura (alternatively try Sherelia's Revelrie) and health and then Aegis of the Legion. After that it depends on your team. If the enemy is heavy DPS, get Frozen Heart and randuin's omen, possibly maybe a sunfire cape as well. If your team is heavy dps, get stark's fervour. If your team is heavy magic and/or the enemy team is heavy magic, get Abyssal Scepter and some more AP (counter burst damage with nuke heals).

This way you become a major asset to your team just by being around. Ult when your team is attacking towers and in team fights. I usually don't use shatter unless we're chasing or just really need a little extra damamge since I'd rather my team keep the armor aura over the short armor pen.
