Taric is a support tank who basically just stuns people and has a lot of auras.
Shen is a support tank that flips out and kills people, he's kind of more involved in the fight.
Shen has good AP ratios and no mana
Taric has meh AP ratios and mana problems.
Taric does AOE damage
Shen does single target damage
Taric can heal
Shen can't (well, not counting vorpal blade as a substantial heal)
Shen has a global outof****ingnowhere ult
Taric has a lackluster ult
Though it sounds like I'm leaning towards Shen, they're both good. I just think Shen is more interesting because he does more than stun and toss out the occasional heal or ult.
Then again, Shen is more of a main tank and Taric is more of a support tank.

It's worth mentioning that Shen is jungle capable, while Taric is best supporting in bot lane (getting very little CS). Since his buffs, Shen has become a very sustainable jungler with pretty mean ganks. You can also jungle indefinitely and just ult in whenever your team mate needs help, which is something no other jungler can do.

Thanks to Fatelblade for the sig!
Thank you guys ^^ well then since Taric is support who would be better as a support character? I was thinking of getting Morgana. Taric or Morgana as a superior support. Which is most likely to be better for ranked matches

If you want a tank and a support get Alistar, if you just want a support get Taric, If you want a tank get Singed. You could also try Cho'gath, Jarvan IV and Trundle for other stuff like jungling, carrying and eating people alive. Lastly; Morgana is not really a support, you're supposed to farm like crazy (mid) and then help out your carry with Spellshield and burst + snare + stun people to death.

Thanks. Yeah I already have Jarvan IV and he does the off-tank, carrying job quite well. So Morgana wouldn't really be used for Ranked matches? Did Shen get better with the buff in the Riven patch? He sounds beast with the whole jungle\ganking\tanking thing. So it seems Morgana is better played in normal matches. While I already know Sona is a very good support. I thought Taric already had like extra magic resistance or was that taken away with the who re-vamp of him?
