I've used pretty much this exact same team.
It's okay but it didn't feel right to have such a close copy of Aarons team.
I don't think it was an intentional copy, due to the sets being very different. Such as Shuca Berry Flash Cannon Heatran over Sub LO and Mental Herb Cress over Sitrus, as well as Aaron's being far more offensive.
An interesting strategy I've heard is leading Goth Scarf Lando, trapping them in at -1 attack and U-turning in to Mawile (or a more appropriate check to your opponent's lead), leaving you with two -2 enemies and a Mega Mawile in Trick room. Mawile with its great typing and huge offense tears holes through the opponents team and KOs the Dark types that threaten Goth, while Goth supports it with Helping Hand. Lando also has a pretty good time against steel types, specifically Aegislash which wrecks the standard Maile Goth TR core. And with Lando's speed it can easily clean up if/when TR expires.
