I used DD Latios once on a team and it was very useful. At least useful enough to give it an analysis.

The set should mention that it most useful in sun. Even without SpA investment HP Fire OKHO's any steel that is immune or neutral to Earthquake except for Bronzong. Wouldbe checks like Ferrothron, Forretress, Skarmory, Bronzong and Scizor are all destroyed. With HP Fire Life Orb is superior to Dragon Gem as it gives Latios a much need boost on its physical attacks and insures a OHKO with sun boosted HP Fire on physically defensive Skarmory 99.7% of the time even without Stealth Rocks.
