I like this team. A lot. It has almost the same defensive core of my current team with Starmie/Land-T/Ferrothorn. I like the Gyro Ball idea over Thunder Wave, especially because you have a quick revenge-killer in Dog. Gyro lets Ferro dish out damage, obviously. One consideration for ya though is the EV spread on said Ferrothorn. Since Haxorus got Superpower, the EV spread in the analysis is kind of obsolete since it was designed to avoid EQ's 2HKO. One that was brought up in Ferro's OU thread by Lacerta (with a slight modification) is 248 HP / 24 Def / 236 SpD Relaxed. That spread allows you to almost always avoid a 2HKO from Specs Keldeo's Hydro Pump in the rain (it's only a 0.39% chance to 2HKO without SR). It also allows you to at least take a Secret Sword and live from perfect health, since it deals 83.76 - 99.14%, in case a major mispredict happens. 248 HP minimizes residual/Spikes damage if they happen to be up when Ferro comes in.
Just something to consider there!
