Ignore some of the comments on thread, some people have obviously not played thresh and thus have no rights in posting here. Anyways, Thresh ADC on bot works well and is viable but he is situational (duh, most bot teams have some counter). He is weak to certain bots such as cait and ez but excels vs other straight ad carries. He will always win in poke battle exchanges and by the lvl 6 mark, he will have a clear advantage in an all out fight to the death because of his armor scaling and unusual dmg typing of mostly being magic, so when you get your magic pene boots with runes, their adc will take your full loaded dmg and typically lose. That being said, he can counter through a taric sup. More often then not, your actually not going to want aspd till after you get your IE to maximize your lane dominance in high dmg trade offs. He is viable for now as a counter pick, but I sense a patch that will nerf him to being perma support. Good supports for him are Janna, sona, taric, and soraka since they all fill a gap for him in a very powerful way. Janna's shield effectively increases your first strike dmg by 50 ad and 100 magic dmg which seals your lane pretty hard and even allows for one hit wonder kills when your get your BF sword with pene boots at lvl 9. However, as stated before, he is situational, while he is a hard counter to champs like vayne, corki, teemo, ect.; he is weak to others which you will only learn from actually playing him as a carry. Overall, hes interesting, hybrid dmg but more often then not, your most damage dealt by nearly 2 times to champs will be magic dmg so fill your rune page accordingly with magic pene and get magic pene boots. Though for blind pick games, it would be safer to use a general purpose adc that doesnt get countered so easy by common adc champs.
