Of all the sets you can use on Dustox, this is probably one of the better ones. It can switch in on special attacks, use decently powered STAB moves (off 199 SpA), poison, support, and heal. Hidden Power Fire will hurt Mawile. Dustox can use Choice Specs if you want.
Other Options
U-turn can scout incoming Pokémon and can prove to be a useful STAB move.
EVs
Just focus on Dustox's HP and Special Attack. Speed investment is futile because it's slow anyways.
Opinion
Dustox really is not something you want to use in competitive play. Even in NU there are better Pokémon to use. Choice Specs allows Dustox to actually have decent Special Attack this generation and can do decent damage to many NU Pokémon.
Counters
Dustox is slow (though maybe not THAT slow in NU terms), has a couple common weaknesses (including Stealth Rock), and has lame Attack. Any Pokémon that can take a STAB Sludge Bomb or Bug Buzz is a Dustox counter.
