The standart Opening-Route is
REDBUFF ( Taric does E + 2 Empowered AA's + Sidelane normal leash )
BLUEBUFF + GROMP ( you Attack the Bluebuff till it is around 150-200 HP and then u go to the Gromp and Smite it to Pull it towards you and then you Kill the Bluebuff with your Alphastrike Bounces )
Wolves ( Taric should W you here and maybe Stun the Camp )
Midlane

NOW you have to Decide if you wanna do DOUBLE SCUTTLE or just one Scuttle plus a Sidelane Gank.
If you have no Gank-Opportunity but good Skirmish-Potential ( 2v2 ) you should go for Double Scuttle ( scuttle spawn: 3:15 ) you have to go to the Scuttle opposing to the Starting Buff of your Enemie ( For example: Enemy Starts Redbuff -> Bluebuff Scuttle Fight )

After the Sidelane Gank / Double Scuttle-Cheese you should go for your Botlane re-clear. ( Gromp / Wolves )
Positiv things about this Pathing:

-> Your Blue is secured
-> You have Double-Buffs for early Fights ( Midlane / Scuttle-Skirmish / Sidelane Ganks )

Negativ things about this Pathing:

- The Pathing isnt as Gold/XP-efficient as the now following Pathing

REDBUFF ( Taric does E + 2 Empowered AA's + Sidelane normal leash )
Golems ( You CAN ward over the Wall for a Quick Q to save some Time 3-4 seconds )
Raptors ( Taric needs to Push his XP to lvl 2 Early so he gives you W and E over the Wall )
Push Midlane ( 2 Waves so Taric can leave the Lane to Help you with the next Steps )
Ally Bluebuff-Scuttle
Bluebuff ( you kite it towards Gromp )
Gromp ( Taric will Pull it towards Bluebuff and position himself correctly to stun Both Targets )
Wolves ( Taric E )
Midlane (1-2 Waves to Reset / outpush the Waves )
Raptors ( Taric E, Taric can go Base after this OR if his Mana isn't used already do the next Step )
Golems ( Taric needs to go a bit earlier towards Golems to grant Master Yi Vision so he can Q over the wall to save again a few Seconds ( which will add up in the whole game to a good amount of time ) )
RECALL
positive things about this Pathing:

-> Supreme in every aspect ( XP / Gold-Wise )

Negativ things about this Pathing:
-> You force Taric to trade HP / Mana early for XP which reduces your Early Skirmishing-Capability by a lot.
-> Taric could get Doven easily / killed easily early on

-> Try to catch your Enemy Midlaner Off-Guard by early Engaging with Q ( Taric Stun needs to be clean! )
-> Go and Farm Jungle if you get Monster-Hunter Debuff ( wannabe FUNNEL NERF ) BUT dont ignore the Lanestate that you leave Taric with... Good Midlaners will Freeze on him and u have to break it before leaving etc )
-> Get Kills on the Sidelanes by diving them correctly ( mostly run at them... and dont use your Q as a Engage tool.... use it as a Tower-Aggro-Reset / Tank Taric u dumb *****-Button. Sometimes you can use your Q as a Engage Tool when u know that u will get a reset Fast / Fast Kill with a good Taric Stun )
-> Play for objectives BUT be carefull you should have both Ultimates available for IMPORTANT FIGHTS / Risky Objectives.
--> If you are really Ahead / not Behind ( which is kind of the same ) with Funnel and have atleast 2 - 3 Items ( Bloodrazor / Guinsoo + Deathdance OR Wits End ) you can bait the enemies really often by starting Objectives just with your Taric. You will have insane Duel-Power ( 3-2 / 4-2 / 5-2 ) when your E is up and your Rageblade is stacked. If you want to bait the enemies DON'T use your E on the Objectiv.
-> If you are about to fight an Enemy ( Towerdive / Normal Fight ) you can abuse your Passiv by decreasing your Q-CD with Autoattacks on Objectives ( Towers ) or on Mobs / Minions. Same counts for the Scenario when u dive your Enemy under Turret and you killed that enemy you decrease your Q-Cooldown already to 3 Seconds. If you NOW want to Reset Toweraggro OR if you want to close a Gap to a nearby Enemy u can Attack ANYTHING closeby once or twice to re-charge your Q.

In General you want to Focus the highest Danger Target ( 1 ) OR the easiest Target to Kill to get a Q / R Reset. ( 2 )
You can Use Flash+Q ( but use Q first so you Buffer it correctly with your Flash ) to get in Range to enemy without Breaking the Bond between you and Taric. IMPORTANT you should not Flash out of Taric W-Range since he wont be able to Stun or Heal / Shield / R you.
Sometimes you can stack up your Rageblade/Double-Strike by Attacking some Minions / Mobs before joining / opening a Fight.
You can instantly cancel your W for a higher Burst-Damage ( Autoattack-Reset )
Remember that your E-Ability gives you a lot of Damage ( on level 10 it is around 50 true dmg on each auto with Rageblade and Double Strike on 9 AA's it will give you around 650~ True Damage)

Your W is a good Damage Medigation Tool! You can use it to decrease the incoming damage while you wait for your Q/E Cooldown or when you wait for your Taric's Spells to heal you up or Stun the enemy.
Taric should AA anything possible to heal you up / reduce his other Spells ( Q / W / E ) Cooldown if he has a healthy Manapool / enough Mana for a Stun/R left.
Remember if you wanna Dive an Enemy your Doublestrike / W-Autoattack-Reset / Q-Toweraggroreset can be GAMECHANGING! Games can be won / lost at such Fights.
