As of today I have a team ready for competitive battling. The Pokemon are strong (as impatient as I am when breeding XD), just not so sure about the trainer! XD
But to answer the thread question, yes I concentrate on IV breeding and EV training. If you want to get anywhere in competitive battling you need to do these things.
Actually, I find it ten times easier to EV train on DP, since the Power items really speed it up. I can usually fully EV train a Pokémon in one hour on Pearl.
