Taric is a fine tank.
That being said, I REALLY prefer playing a support role on Taric, but I'm also a sucker for healers in this game :)

Taric is a bad tank*

You should never ever ever ever build him tank or pick him on the assumption you're going to be building tank.

You don't want to be focused as taric, makes your job a lot harder when your, you know, CC'd and dead.

yeah. taric is one of my favorite champions and i usually build pure ap with a support item or 2 thrown in, usually the Soul Shroud

what most people fail to realize is the sheer nukability in his skills, combined with the fact that his heal is a 110% ratio. (150% if you cast it on yourself.. hehe.)

Taric is an emergency/niche tank at best.

Sure, he tanks worse than someone like Cho'gath or Shen, but he has his facets. His aura is nice, and he's got CC (and a lot of things that make tanks good), but the thing is every one of those things is utilized just as well, if not better, if he plays support. He can buy and Aegis of the Legion and a Soul Shroud and he'll be plenty tanky, while still being able to focus heavily on support.

He can be off tank-y but that's only due to his healing and auras which you should be staying alive for helping your team with. He can take heavy damage but as with any good healer you really want to keep your focus on HEALING.
