Malph's ult is nice an all, but Ali pretty much has this skill every few seconds with a headbutt+pulverize combo. I'd tweak Malph, make the current ult his W (obviously scale it down with relevant damage cd etc) and add a new passive & active support based skill as his ult such as; (for eg)

Geological Shift (Passive Aura) Malphite shifts parts of his rock structure to protect his allies, absorbing 15% of all damage done to them within range. The passive aura is broken if Malphite's health drops below 15% of maximum health. (Range 1500)

(Active Aura) Malphite shifts his entire outer rock structure to increase allies armor by 50/75/100 and absorb 50% of all damage to allies within range for 3 seconds. If Malphite's health drops below 10% of maximum health at any time during the shift it is immediately broken. During this skill Malphite is unable to move or attack and has his own armor is reduced by 50/75/100. The passive aura is disabled during the active. (Range 1500)

He can then join the elite tank/supports in Ali and Taric who are miles ahead of the rest in this role.
