I personally prefer Visage as the best all around carry hero, since he can farm higher tier items relatively quickly. With the help of his bats and his passive heal per last hit, he has great lane-staying power and is relatively ungankable. Deso + Mek is usually gg, follow up with either hp or dmg depending on their hero lineup.
Solo me with visage and tell me that you can stay in your lane forever.
Everyone is picking SA, and yes SA is a great carry IF ALLOWED to farm all game, and he's the right choice if you're talking about a pub level game. But if you're actually in a competitive scenario (cal/league for instance) SA will not be allowed to farm the first 20-30 minutes of the game. If he comes up to the line of creeps, he will be harassed, and the opponent will have dust before he even reaches level 6, with a compliment of ganks mixed in there.
DK on the other hand has dragon blood, which gives him 8 armor and 4 hp regen/sec by the time he is level 7, which means he will actually BE ABLE to farm the items needed to carry.
