The problem with 8D 10F is that you're giving ice time to your 7th and 8th-best defencemen. That's likely to make your overall team defence worse, not better.
Closest thing I can think of: Back in the dawn of time, the Canucks used to dress 7D and 11F. But that was when two of the forwards were designated face-punchers, and they basically rolled three lines unless they wanted or expected a fight.
