I really like putting the range carry with support in the bot lane, gives the lane a little more damage when jungler comes to gank as opposed to tank+support lane that is common on the US server. Also many of the range carries are just not that strong in a 1v1 laning situation (especially a kog'maw with dorans blade lol).
Edit: But I still don't get why you didn't go full EU on the lane setup with caster mid and beefy guy with teleport top. Casters have a lot more gank potential as they usually have more stuns and burst, also beefy/tank guy with teleport top is a huge asset as you can go and force a dragon fight (especially if the other team doesn't have teleport) the minute he hits level 6 (if he is someone like malph or galio especially). Just have top lane push a little then if things gets hairy at dragon he can teleport on the ward and he can turn the 4v4 at dragon into a complete slaughter.
