Pro Commentary
Pros and Cons
Pros
Short cd stun great for setting up ganks and playing aggressive with
Can pocket heal allies in danger quite well and auto attack to pump out more heals faster
Great "aura" support with his Shatter armor buff and burst to enemy champions with his ultimate it makes him a great support
Naturally tanky and can be played as a offtank / support all in one
Cons
Doesn't offer much in terms of damage
Have to be in melee range for a lot of his abilities to work so it can be dangerous to be in a team fight
Have to auto attack to trigger his heal cooldown and his built in passive
Compared to supports like Sona, Janna, Leona, etc. he doesn't have a huge "game changer" ulti, so his teamfighting is weaker. Especially if he cant soak dmg.
I'm a little confused...on the Quick Guide, your Item Build for early game looks like Emblem of Valor --> Boots of Speed --> Philosopher's Stone --> Sightstone --> Aegis of the Legion, but on the Item Build section it looks like Boots of Speed --> Emblem of Valor --> Sightstone --> Aegis of the Legion --> Philosopher's Stone.
Could you elaborate on which one's the latest version, and why you went with one way over the other way?

So for taric I like to run 0/13/17, picking up the 5 damage reduction from champs and more hp. Could you explain how your masteries might better benefit with the 1/7/22 over the ones I mentioned?
My guess if that the damage reduction honestly isn't all that important, as with this build, you'll end up with quite a large amount of armor, and a fair amount of health regardless. So the defense itself isn't as important, especially since your heal heals yourself too, and it's for a fair amount when maxed. The Utility point and the things you can get... really helpful when supporting. I honestly haven't had very much trouble surviving with less points in the defense tree, and the other points definitely have helped when supporting.
Why don't pick magic resist per level runes instead of just magic resist? because when you go support bot you will against a lot of ad dmg and few ap dmg and at late game you will need those magic resist when you will go to some team fight and will die easily by the enemy caster ...
