So what... activating R gives Tryndamere reason to live for a few seconds and he's still vulnerable to CC. After CC he got zero-few hits to do and spinning slash away, wasting Q and R for it if he wants to survive. (QSS and Cleanse is there to help him, but he needs to activate it on right time.)

Also you wants to hold R a bit later on fights (right before you about to get killed) but if enemies can burst out some chunk of your health, like LeBlanc's combo (don't mind of her CC, but her big damage output) or Cho'Gath's Feast, they can take down your health to zero before you even react to activate your R.

Remember, that Tryndamere is not the only carry in the game, plus there will be mostly anti-carries(assassins and tank) and a carry on enemy team.
