Innovative idea that deserves some testing. Champions that can hold a solo lane easily, even against ganks, would work well in this sort of comp (ohai Morgana, I didn't know it was you). It would be particularly effective in a coördinated team that can ward the allied jungle effectively, so that if an enemy jungler comes in and tries to snatch a buff, you can catch him out. Without that, mind, the enemy team effectively have two jungles could be a major disadvantage of the strategy; power clearers like Shyvana would be a particular headache.

The only other problem I can see is that one of the reasons this works in DOTA is that it's very viable for the trilane supports to go roaming. This might not work out so well in League, since Riot aren't keen on supports having good roaming power (hence their pickle over Alistar). That said, I guess anyone with CC or high burst has some roaming power, even if it's not as good as that of a dedicated ganking champion. Maokai might actually fit in very well with this sort of set-up, since he was designed as a support originally. And, much though I have a distaste for it personally, Annie support would be perfect for this kind of strategy.
