How good is Druddigon as, say, a Trick Room sweeper?

48 base Speed, but 120 Attack.

Something like:

Druddigon @ Life Orb
Ability: Rough Skin
Adamant Nature
252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpDef
-Outrage
-Fire Fang
-Earthquake
-Swords Dance / Sucker Punch / Superpower

So either a bulky Trick Sweeper w/ SD setup, or go for extra coverage. Fire Fang is more for Ferroseed, but I suppse Superpower could work there for other Steel Types that EQ doesn't wreck. Suckerpunch is a hoot, and usually pretty surprising on those folks trying to use priority moves on you to bypass Trick Room. Thoughts?

ETA: 77/90/90 Defenses mean you aren't a sitting duck outside of Trick Room too, so maybe throw it in towards the end of the duration or use it as a Trump Card in case your Room Setter gets KO'd?
