Normally, you want the solo laner to do two things better than most other champs on your team: sustain and scale with gold. Top lane should be able to sit in the lane with full health and farm all day long.
A 2v1 situation is similar, but a higher priority is placed on sustainability and you shift from scaling with gold to scaling with level. Udyr is a great example of this because he's very sustainable, scales insanely well with levels and is an absolute bitch to kill.
A 2v1's highest priority should be to stay alive. Period. Creeping, killing... all of that normal stuff becomes secondary to not dying. You'll lose a lot of gold to the tower and you might lose some XP because you get zoned, but you have to play patient. Them not having a jungler means the rest of your team can make insanely aggressive 2v1 or 3v2 pushes in the other lanes and they won't be able to respond to it.
That advantage, though, is completely contingent upon the 2v1 being able to hold their lane without dying.
