I would advise you to stay away from bio builds for now and focus on proper mech play.
The build you executed is a weak variation of 1 base bio rush. If you really want to all-in against protoss, it's better to use bio-mech strategy variation such as deep six.
However, Learning to play TvP is not about gimicky bio builds, It's about using proper mechanized builds while putting emphasize on macro, mech units control and hotkey mechanics. mech play is very APM demanding and bio is even more.
If a bio player doesn't outright kills the protoss or severely cripples him with the timing attack, the game is over most of the time.
The goal is to play a proper macro build(e.g. fact cc, fd push or rax cc) and aim for a timing attack on a 3 base to crush the protoss expansions.
Agree with falling. Reaver worked well and microing goon is rough because most people underestimate marine speed (or aren't fast enough)I would advise you to stay away from bio builds for now and focus on proper mech play.

Thanks for the advisement, but, I've already decided on my TvP approach after this game
I'm not interested in all-ining, otherwise, I would've just continued to one base, added more rax and went for the kill. I'm trying to look at bio in the same way I see mech, as a legit way to play TvP regardless of the phase of the game. I think that it can work with lots of planning, much better macro and some solid micro.
I also like to play aggressive, so, taking 3 bases then just aiming for a timing attack doesn't sit well with the style that I like to play (ya, I know you can be aggressive with mech like Sea has do with some of his games). Thanks for the comment!
