Rank 1 Q is already pretty garbage, honestly. Max heal of 60 + 4.5% bonus HP at a point where you have almost none is... okay at best? Relic + rune HP would give you about 67 HP. PBE!Q has 30 + 1% total HP, which at level 3 could give you about... 38 HP, with Relic + rune HP? Improves whenever you level up, as well, because it's max health, not bonus. At level 7 it'd be a roughly 40 HP heal just off Taric's base health, ignoring any bonus. Now obviously this is weaker than the live rank 1 max heal, but you do have to remember it's for only 1 stack rather than 3, which means you can use it more often - remember he's getting a fairly hefty mana regen buff too, which offsets the slightly increased mana cost. Using live Q on one stack only gives you a ~22 HP heal early game.

I agree with maxing Q second once these changes go through because I think the spammability is going to be through the roof and the mana cost is no longer completely disgusting if you level up the ability, but I don't think you'd really need to bother putting early points in it over your E which lets you make more proactive plays, and also lowers the cooldown. Maybe I'm wrong and it'll be an option, esp. in more passive lanes, but that's my prediction.
