It's setup fodder and Pursuit fodder. Latias is best-suited to a Life Orb or Calm Mind set. As for your Latias, you need to fix that EV spread. The best spread I've used on Life Orb Latias is 104 HP / 152 SAtk / 252 Spd. The most notable thing the Special Attack EVs do for Latias is allow it to OHKO Keldeo, which is absolutely crucial. The extra Special Attack investment you have doesn't help with anything, while extra bulk always helpful on a Pokemon that's going to be worn down easily throughout the match. I'll also second Shurtugal's suggestions for Jirachi's and Heatran's EVs. Those should serve you well.

Although I agree on the fact that Scarf Latias is Sub par, this teams weakness to boosted set up sweepers such as Nite and Mence are huge if he doesn't have something to revenge kill them. The only thing they have to do is get one of them in on a free turn, and it's pretty much a train wreck from there. The only thing I can think of to combat this without a Scarfer, is to somehow cripple these sweepers early on in the match with Will-O-Wisp or enough Stealth Rock switch ins so Scizor can revenge kill them. However, a smart player will know not to bring in Mence or Nite early on in a match to risk their chances. The only reason I didn't recommend a different Scarfer, is because his team is built so well that I would hate to change anything up. He could use a Scarfed Latios, but then he wouldn't be able to take hits nearly as well. I myself, use a LO Latias on almost every single team I build, however Scarfed Latias is by no means bad, and you can't really draw a conclusion on how effective she would be on the team when you haven't even tried it.
EDIT: Dear God people I get the point. He just needs a Scarfer of some kind. But seriously, don't diss Scarfed Latias. It's by no means bad.
