I don't have any official answer to the dugtrio ban, but my guess would be that trapping via a pokemon's ability (shadow tag, arena trap and magnet pull) is cheap and grants too easy KO's...
Being a French player maybe I can help you guys out, learning competitive pokemon from Smogon but doing tournaments in France may give me enough hindsight to comment on the current French metagame.

About the sash on roserade, I must say it helped me more than any other item I tried before (accuracy glasses & leftovers). I often found myself in a position when I need a surprise sacrifice which can be avoided...
