Firstly, I wouldn't recommend your set to anyone for VGC, however, it is immaculate for Smogon Singles. My reason for saying this is, Dragon Tail is good for your stratergy until it becomes impossible to force a switch, Curse without a recovery move can make it easy to get taunted and burnt, Stealth Rock is meh, seeing as how VGC is less focused on switching out as opposed to Singles so entry hazards won't do much.
I have to agree with you that M-Steelix is very good for Trick Room due to its low speed stat but high attack stat that gives it OHKOing potential. Sandstorm is to trigger its ability so the other moves get a 33% boost which makes M-Steelix hit like a Pixilate Sylveon only with move coverage and it is also for breaking weather teams. You can run Protect if you are already running a Sand Team for VGC since Sandstorm would be redundant if you have Pokemon with the ability Sand Stream.
The attacks hit hard, especially when Sand is up, so hard that it can score 1 hit knock outs against other frail Pokemon.

This is just another idea for a normal Steelix. It can live a hydro pump from a life orb 252 sp atk greninja provided that it has a Passho Berry. Otherwise it gets OHKOd
