ad, ap ratios arent so great for taric. you'll be getting alot of mana back everytime you smack something, and getting some att speed early. ad is better because your cc is more useful when you're the only one against the other top laner and the armor reduction and the given armor from shatter will make him have a large amount of sustain.

the problem is, it's hard to solo with taric until his mana problems are dealt with (so you'll be pushed back alot until you get some att spd for that passive). Oh yeah, most early game champs really hurt for taric's early game like pantheon who deals even more damage than you can heal with.
