The actual gameplay was quite fun, but the comments from other players in my team was a major pain. It's kinda like playing healer in MMO's, except that instead of getting unnoticed in any non-organized environment, you get yelled at for the duration of the whole game (and not for bad play, mind you, but for playing a support).
That's why you play AP Taric in solo queue and wreck the bot lane. AP Taric with a maxed close range stun damage, ignite, and a DFG will combo a lot of squishy champs. EASY MODE.
Know this from experience - AP Taric is my "Best" support I can play reasonably well

You should take some lessons from cull. Normally 6 deaths and BEASTLY DAMAGE just means you only lacked more AGRO PLAY!

The times I wish I had lolreplay running part #428, stealing baron solo with a near blind Nidalee spear.

Any reason you just don't always have it running? I had technical issues between LoL and LolReplay these last few weeks, but I would be running it constantly otherwise.

Taric is really weirdly underrated. He can be a beast of a tank, initiator, support, and a beat stick. But he's also one of the hardest to maximize imo because he fits so many roles. That being said, one of my friends plays a wicked Taric and basically makes a good team amazing.

I agree that support Taric is pretty darn good. As long as you have decent damage elsewhere a spammable stun is really strong. I liken him to Sion except it isn't a problem if you don't have farm.

Aegis + ult + Shatter's armor buff/debuff = OMG my team is AMAZING in teamfights. The stun and heal just make things even better.
