Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Where can I find a list of the top Pokemon used in OU and their most used natures/sets/EVs/etc?
I have this http://paste.ubuntu.com/6677789/ but I believe it's months old.
Ya know, I've been messing around with just an offensive Toxic Orb Breloom back from Gen 4 and it has been doing surprisingly well. Easily one of the best counters to Rotom-W so long as you're able to activate your Orb before you switch in and take a WoW.

I've been trying out Pursuit Aegislash and it can be very effective when done right. Pursuit's unSTAB and as such won't be doing too much damage, but it's a great tool for whittling down an opposing threat's HP as it tries to switch out.
