Introduction
Some things that I commonly see people getting wrong in support is a lack of knowledge. People just sort of bumble around and die for stupid reasons. I'd recommend to:
One final bit of cheese. If you're on the Red team, and your jungler starts Red buff, ask your ADC to wait in tribush with you. As long as they're not Alistar/Blitz/Braum/Bard/Morg you should be able to cheese their flashes. This also happens on the Blue team if your jungler starts Blue buff, it's less common, but wait in river bush.
-
Always stay near your ADC
-
Back when your ADC does. Try not to leave him alone in lane until about 15 minutes
-
Ward everywhere you can imagine a gank from. Since you don't need to farm much, keep checking your minimap. I'd recommend checking it once every 5-10 seconds if you're new to this
-
Never try to leave a kill - you're not a mother penguin trying to feed her babies. You need gold too

Guardian is triggered by your W, your FotM, your Locket, and by being near your team mate. The shield is ridiculously OP in a fight if you can get FotM on your squishies. Aftershock is a viable alternative, but I find the extra protection a lot more useful.
Demolish is more useful than Font of Life. FoL should be better in theory, but the heal is so small it is just not worth it.
Conditioning is better overall, but Iron Skin is good against early game comps and AD assassin mids.

-
Best used when they're easy to hit
-
Don't try to predict any flashes. If you miss when they flash, then you've still burnt their flash for your Q. If you try to predict a flash and they don't actually flash, you've gained no advantage
-
Your hook hitbox is about as wide as the bush, so if you have minions right beside the bush, throw a hook in there if you think they're there.
-
Q has two tugs (small pulls), one each second they're hooked. Thresh is slowed during his hook. Don't try to hook them while you're escaping.
-
Use your hook more like a Morgana Q than a Blitz Q.
-
Use the basic attacks last hit the minions for your support item
-
Use the basic attacks as poke against short range supports like Braum and Alistar.
-
Use the ability to engage close enemies. Flay towards you.
-
Against a Leona or Lee Sin, you can cancel their abilities mid air if timed correctly.
-
The box has the same range as the second tug of your Q
-
Use the ult to force the enemy into a bad position in a fight
-
The box can also be used as an effective way of preventing the support from helping. If their support is standing away from their ADC, you can hook onto the ADC with Q, and then go to them and ulting. This means the ADC is trapped without any help from the support (without taking a lot of damage and a 99% slow)
-
If they engage into your minions, this is an effective way of forcing them to take minion damage
