They aren't biased toward any items. -.-

Tank support: item 2049 item 3190 item 3110 item 3050 item 3800 item 3056 item 3401 item 3069 Utility support: item 3222 item 3504 item 3092

They're pretty much the same, but utility supports have Ardent Censer, Frost Queen's Claim and Mikael's Crucible, and tanks have Frozen Heart and Face of the Mountain

Frozen Heart is good for supports in my opinion. If nobody on my team is taking it and I'm a tank support, I'll get it for the AOE AS slow(granted the team has more than one AD champ), plus the armor, CDR and mana is great.

Zeke's Harbinger granted is worse on tank sups than utility sups, but it still works.

Coin depends on the tank. Blitz generally sits in the bush and waits for a grab so he can't come out to hit minions, plus the speed boost is good for going in for a grab. Same with Thresh, he's ranged too so its hard to get that last hit unless your ADC is specifically allowing it. And sometimes its best to just sit in the bush and wait like Blitz for a good moment to go in. Honestly a Frost Queen's Claim could be good on Thresh too, but he's just kind of a mix between utility and tank so.

And some people run Ohmwrecker, in the right situation. Like, if I have a Trynd on my team sometimes I'll take it and go split pushing with him to take towers. Its also good when you're in a stalemate in the late game and don't want to fight under tower, you can null it and go in. Especially on Bard, he can nullify it with his R, Ohmwrecker, and heal whoever's tanking.
