The actual meta is about:

Bot lane: Dps Char + CC/AntiCC/Shield/Heal

Mid Lane: Caster-Champion

Top Lane: Offtank/Tank

Jungle: Offtank/Tank

(At least as far as I understand the meta)

The role of the tanks is to prevent the shutdown by AoE Nukes/CC and stop the high priority targets from targetting the vulnerable champions. With Jayce Top you lose 1 champion in the frontline, and if now your team is slightly behind (or simply just your Jungler), the 1 guy in the frontline will simply melt too fast.
