the problem with trying to be a lifesteal tank is that if someone gets Morello's or uses ignite on you, thats it because you won't be able to heal though Grevious Wounds, which is why its always better to be an actual tank with some lifesteal for a bit of duel sustain.

as for your teamfight plan, its usually better to flank and use your skills to assassinate a priority target (i.e. a carry) fast and then run away (if your fed) or stay back near your carries and peel the enemys that are trying to dive onto them off of them and let them do the had work (if you're behind). You are never going to get enough lifesteal to be able to tank 5 people with CC or grevious wounds, it just does not happen unless your a super fed Sion or Warwick
