just had another Taric top game, this champion is clearly super strong if played correctly and against all the melee bruisers top (so basically every top laner except champs like Elise or Vlad), you cannot be 1v1ed past a certain point and your burst is kinda amazing too, also sneaking an auto here and there during laning phase especially after a W is super cool damage.
My standard build nowadays is:
- faerie charm + 3 red pots + 3 blue pots + ward: gives amazing sustain with Q spam and can save you vs early ganks with the ward
-1st buy: upgrade charm with tear (i stack at fountain with w and q) it helps getting an huge manapool so you can spam your abilities much more without going oom and also goes very well with your passive, giving you extra magic damage every auto vs champs, the damage output is quite amazing - if you have money get a chain vest too or buy boots
- 1st item is gonna be soul shroud: more mana, cdr and armor already makes you amazing in lane, you can trade and force enemy bruisers out of lane really soon with this, if you can afford it get a kindlegem too, more health needed at this point (15 minutes more or less) and more cdr
-get frozen fist, sheen proc with your passive outputs an amazing magic damage from autos, more mana and ap again work very well and the slow proc is so cool when you peel for your adc or you need to close distances with their melees or even carries if you get unto them, at this point if you 1v1 their carries you can kill them with w+auto+ult and autos to follow, you can stun them every 6-7 seconds at this point, while you perma-sustain yourself and an ally nearby, it's pretty amazing.
-from the kindlegem i get a spirit visage, at this point you'll have plenty of armor and the mres you get from this will seal the deal vs their ap carries, also upgrades your cdr to 20% making it a flat 30% only from items (frozen fist gets 10% for you) not to mention masteries or runes.
-at this point you can almost build whatever, i like items like aegis -> bulwark gives more defensive stats to you and the team, making you almost impossible to be killed, abyssal scepter for double AP team and also decreases the MR for the enemy team, really good for your AP carry, from tear i get muramana not seraph because the shield, while being nice, doesnt really makes sense because you're already unkillable, if you proc muramana your damage is seriously big instead, which at this point you need in lategame to kill carries that have built some resistances or health.

Soul Shroud was removed...
That said, your damage with just a Muramana + IBG is actually pretty ridiculous against squishies with the armour pen from W and your ult. Once you have those two items you really just need some health and MR. Possibly some attack speed too.
I'm thinking a final build could look like Muramana, IBG, Tabi's/Merc's, SV/BV/Runic for MR, Mog's/Locket/Randuin's for Health, Zephyr/Nashor's for attack speed to be able to fight lategame. No idea what set of those would work out the best though.
