I'm using aggressive in the sense of "looking to pick a fight", and how does hard CC =/= aggression? The whole point of the champions is "Land your hard CC while your team blows them up". That seems pretty aggressive to me. It's going to be a 3v2, they should be looking to engage every chance they get. Therefore they are being aggressive. An aggressive Nidalee or Sona support just zones, there isn't much kill potential, which is what i'm looking for from my aggressive support. I used the word aggressive a lot right there...

Also, i don't know if you've noticed yet, but there isn't a lot of XP to be had in the jungle, not to mention what little xp there is actually IS being farmed by the laners, if you'd bother to read my responses to comments, namely my response to CarFox. The only junglers who aren't almost always just as low level as your support are the extremely fast clearing ones such as Shyvana, Udyr, and Mundo. Also, there is the mastery that gives you bonus XP whenever you're near a champion higher level than you. That fits the roaming/tanky support perfectly, as he won't be punished nearly as hard for leaving his lane a lot.

And finally, it's completely possible to stay perfectly safe from ganks top, the enemy jungler can camp all he wants with no success if the laner plays safely and properly. Shen would be great for this, as he's difficult to tower dive, and escapes ganks with ease.
