My point was that bruisers have a better clear speed, but they also need gold. Top lane gives more gold.

Tanks don't need many items, so you would be sacrificing jungle speed for having gold used more effectively with the bruiser/assasin top (I forgot to mention assasins at all, they usually replace the bruiser.)

But it is still a good point that jungler tanks are easy to counter-jungle, while being pretty bad at counter-jungling themselves. I guess it all depends on both team compositions.
