Everything is Subjective.

The favorite focus spot must be the carry, indeed. But its certainly truth that sometimes this changes, one of the biggest examples is Tryndamere, its almost useless attacking him while he is ulting, its a waste of time.

Yet, it all depends on your role. As a tank you have to focus on one of these two options: Go after the carry, or stop the enemy who is going after your carry.

As a caster you should focus their ad carry, in case of having a silence you must silence their caster or any of these other foes with potential cc's

As a support you have to basically stay next to your carry and heal him/boost him but it depends on the support. Let's say you are a Lulu, sometimes its better to use Wild Growth on your initiator or a melee assasin (Akali, Talon, Fizz, Olaf, Nocturne), or you might want to Whimsy a dangerous foe rather than an ally (Alistar, Volibear, Riven, Skarner, Rumble). Or you might be Taric, who is a combat support and can get in the middle of the teamfight, Shatter, Radiance, Autoattack to restore mana and reduce Imbue's cooldown, doesn't matters who is he autoattacking, his main goal is to reduce that cooldown and heal people.

As an Offtank you're most of the times the initiator there is not much to say about this, all you gotta do is be a pain for the enemies.

Assasin = Jump straight to the carry and rape him.

This is not always a good idea, after killing the carry sometimes you end up in an awkward situation behind their forces and about to get raped and the end score will be like this:

DEFEAT

XX - XX

Enemy ADC 4/13/5

Enemy Tank 17/6/10

Tanks can carry, it's a fact. Malph and Rammus are the best examples.
