R (Cosmic Radiance) makes your allies invulnerable after a 2.5s delay — cast it IN ADVANCE before the burst hits.
W (Bastion) links an ally — your spells (Q heal and E stun) are duplicated from that ally's position.
E (Dazzle) is a line stun that also fires from your linked ally — position yourself and your link for crossing stun angles.
The passive reduces your spell cooldowns with autos — weave autos constantly to reduce your CDs.

Playing against Taric
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
His R has a visible 2.5s delay: burst the targets BEFORE the invulnerability triggers.
R's invulnerability is centered on Taric: if allies move away from him, they aren't protected.
His E stun is slow and predictable — side-step or dash to avoid it.
Taric is weak against poke: harass him from range since he can only heal with Q (limited mana) and needs to be in melee.
