Side lanes are extremely vulnerable to ganks due to the length of the lane. The top lane is only "isolated" because it's the furthest from the dragon. The jungler is no less likely to gank top lane than any of the other lanes, and if you put a squishy target with no escapes up there, any competent jungler will just camp you all day until you're so underfarmed the enemy top laner can solo-tower-dive you.

Solo Mid- Your Bruiser a should take mid, focusing on protecting the enemy from pushing.

Mid lane is the least beneficial lane for bruisers due to the short lane. It's harder for them to take advantage of their 1v1 dominance in shorter lanes where the enemy can reach the safety of their tower far quicker than in side lanes.

Solo Bot- your ap mids will be going at it, focusing on building burst damage untill mid-late game.

Many AP carries have poor sustained damage. This makes them a poor candidate for the longer side lanes where sustained damage while chasing or kiting can outdo burst damage. And AP carries are often just as vulnerable as squishy AD carries to ganks.

Support- the support's lane can be considered the river. This is the idea of a roamer, not taking cs but going around sucking exp from all 3 lanes and support every single lane. It can help a lane push, or heal for health or mana (soraka) and it can get its cs by taking over lanes when the solo is dead or in need to go back. This will also allow the supports to check for jungle camps and ward baron/dragon as needed.

This isn't new; supports already do this. The only reason supports are PRIMARILY bottom with the AD carry is that:
1. Side lanes are more vulnerable to pressure (ganks, zoning) than mid lane
2. AD carries are squishy, and squishies more vulnerable to pressure than non-squishies (eg. bruisers).
3. A fed AD carry often has far more of an effect on games than any other champion
