Imo, he really needs a new passive. The fact his autoattacks reduce his heal CD doesn't matter that much( in fact, it encourage you to fight the enemies head on), but that % of his damage dealt convert to mana requires too much. You build taric as a tank/support, not an AD/tank/support.

I know AD taric is a viable build and stuff, but as a support this passive doesn't fit his role.

His voice is fine, though he REALLY could use a new model (he looks like a midget).
