The best you're going to get. All of his movesets except a very select few should use Recover. His Special Attack is better than his Attack, so use his best STAB move, Surf, and Ice Beam for Flying and Dragon-types, then Toxic to help wear things down. Psychic if you want more of a pure sweeping set. Calm Mind if you think you can pull it off. Leftovers because Natural Cure takes care of status recovery. Switch out at the sight of Sceptile and Zapdos etc., but try and hit with an Ice Beam on the switch in.
Weird set, but here's how it works: Reflect will bring in a Special Attacker. Light Screen or Amnesia on the switch, then Mirror Coat the subsequent attack and get the hell out of there. Focus Band to try and survive a grass attack and Mirror Coat it back. Recover is there to get your HP back when you find a safe time to Switch in. Toxic because once they know what you're up to, all this can do is psuedo-pass. Not too bad of a set, and it takes advantage of Corsola's good defenses.
Choose your favorite Rock move, but remember that Hustled Rock Blast only has 64% accuracy. Explosion is powerful but extremely risky with Hustle, so you may want to go with Earthquake. Hidden Power Fighting is really just for Tyranitar, though it hits Blissey harder than anything but a Rock Blast with 4 or 5 hits. Psychic for Weezing, Surf for Skarm, standard CB fare. Always use Hustle with this for the extra pop, though I will admit a Natural Curing CBer is interesting. Too bad he doesn't have the attack to back it up.
Pure support set. Toxic, either confuse the enemy or pseudo-pass Reflect or Light Screen, then Mirror Coat if you can. You can also put one of the Pseudo-passing move over Mirror Coat, or use both and no Confuse Ray, but Mirror Coat is its best way to do damage. Probably won't do very much, but its worth a shot.
Other Options
Not much to say here. You could try Ingrain if you are Baton Passing to it, or along with Amnesia, Barrier and Recover or Refresh as some sort of pseudo-stalling set, but I wouldn't recommend it. Screech might force a switch or two, and Refresh is purely for stalling, as it already has Natural Cure. When the Pokémoning is over, Corsola makes an excellent hockey puck.
EVs
For the standard set, give it max Sp Atk unless you are Calm Minding, and even then still give it near max, and put the rest in Defenses, with a Modest nature. For the CB set, screw speed as its slow as hell anyway, and just give it max attack and a Brave nature, with the rest in HP and Special Attack. For the support and Mirror Coating set, give it max Special Defense and split the rest in HP and Defense, with a Calm nature. That's it, really, but always try and take advantage of its good defenses no matter which set you are using.
Options
Look at Corsola. Doesn't it look pretty cool? Has a pretty good movepool, right? So of course it's going to suck! Corsola is really, really bad, has a pretty bad type Mix, and crappy stats in all but its defenses. It's weak to a lot of stuff, too. Just use it in UU matches and it's an okay utility type of Pokémon, and can be an average Special Sweeper, but it's poor in OU play.
Counters
Jolteon, Raikou, Sceptile, Venusaur with a Grass move, just about any Grass or Electric Pokémon (except for the CB set, maybe), Suicune will neutralize him, anything that can take a hit and OHKO or 2HKO him, lots of stuff counters him. Just run when you know you're beat.
