"Taric's strengths have nothing to do wiht "out-healing supports"; he's actually pretty bad for heals"

He's one of the best for heals. Better than Soraka until she gets her ultimate, and even then he outpaces her on sustain.

Imbue heals two champs per spell at 100% each, or he heals for himself 140%. His cooldown on Imbue is always going to be lower than Soraka's flat 20 seconds after level 1. It has a higher AP ratio.

It's bascially better in every way for healing, while Astral Blessing is there to make AD Carries cringe for a few seconds. Soraka gets Wish, which gives her the burst healing to keep up; Taric outpaces her for much of the game, unless you enjoy spamming Wish for some odd reason (never spam globals. Save them.).

Taric doesn't need more than one point in Dazzle since the damage increase is a joke, and the stun is flat across all levels, so buffing it early is a total waste of points if you're babysitting. If you're actually main-laning...why are you playing Taric?
