You make some solid points, and i have a few counterarguments. For one, this isn't blind pick, you aren't going to pick a melee carry into a team comp that can handle it. For another, and forgive me if I'm wrong, but you seem to assume that the idea of this revolves around a melee ADC, which is simply not true, and I apologize for any misunderstanding. With a Tristana or a Kog'Maw, you only need ONE damage dealer, let alone 2. You also need to remember that in a traditional team comp, there are at most 2 people peeling for the ADC, and usually only one, whereas this team comp is designed around having 4. You need a hypercarry, because, as you say, your damage simply wouldn't be high enough to compete with the enemy team. However, that is the exact reason why we pick the hypercarries such as Tristana, for they are easily capable of matching the DPS of 2 or more champions at 6 items.

And lastly, if played properly the top lane shouldn't really be able to feed, as the whole idea is that he needs to be very safe. Not to mention, at least in my case, Tryndamere is a permaban, so that issue would never arise ;)
