I feel like against competent enemies the AD would really hinge on being able to do a really high amount of physical damage. I could see myself not building much armor against an unfed (not necessarily underfed) Jarvan, whereas against even a less fed Tryndamere or Olaf (again, assuming not underfed), I'd probably still feel I had to build armor.

As I said, it's theorycrafting. Jarvan could probably work, it's just that I feel like he's a bit more of a utility champion than a damage champion, and sometimes you just need a damage champion to balance things out.

Oh wait, you meant as more of a tank/offtank, sorry... Well that's a little closer. A lot of that would hinge on how good the Jarvan is at interrupting with his knockup. If he misses, a lot of bad things could happen. Otherwise he'd probably work really well. He would make up for some lack of physical damage, and I know he can lane really well. It's just really important that he interrupts well too, and I think that's why Alistar's my first pick for that (gonna edit that a bit). I'll add Jarvan in as a possibility though, hadn't considered that.
