@NicknameMy Yes it's true that Taric's W ability "Shatter" is on a significaly lower cooldown than his Q or E, but it still has a long-ish cooldown of it's own. That means even with 20% CDR, you need to weave a second spell in there to make the most of Taric's passive "Gemcraft" to have "Shatter" come off cooldown as fast as possible and ready to use again.

As for priotitizing CDR in Taric's build, it's not as necessary as you think considering "Gemcraft" is such a useful passive. Keep spell weaving and all those abilities can have coldowns of half or even a third of the full time. You should focus more on building armour and movement-speed in your runes. Especially movement-speed Quintessences over CDR Quints.
