Well, you can use that definition of an AD caster, but you're going to be confusing many other people because I assure you very few others will use it that way as well.

The thing you describe between a bruiser and a DPS tank leads to similar conclusions - bruisers attacking a carry will be focused because they're attacking the team's carry. Only a pure tank like Alistar will deserve more focus because their CC is strong enough that ignoring them in favour of the bruiser will cause your team to be CCed and lose anyway. Mundo's also a terrible tank. Never dying is not sufficient reason to focus them - after all, if they never die, why try?

I also do not see why you think Nocturne is much better for sticking onto a carry than Shyvana. They both have gap-closers and movement speed boosters of roughly the same (potential) duration in total. Nocturne otherwise has a spell shield and a small fear. Shyvana has more defences. Nocturne is more likely to just die to focus while trying to latch on, Shyvana is more likely to be CCed off. It's also entirely possible to do plenty of AoE damage anyway while sticking onto a carry since carries are important - focusing them will have any sensible team to want your blood, grouping them up for AoE.
