I saw a Tournament Match about one or two weeks ago (I don't remember what teams, but it was either European or North American regionals) where both teams indeed switched their bot and mid lanes. However, one of the teams then also switched the top and new bot lane, ending with the AP on top, the Bruiser on bot, and the AD carry + support on mid. Good thing about putting your AD carry on mid is also that it's relatively easy to escape from ganks, because, even if the lane is pushed to the enemy tower, it's about one screen to your tower, while bot lane is almost twice as far. And it will sometimes just happen that the lane pushes to the enemy tower, even if you don't want it.
