My Current Team

Tell that to desolation, who lost 4 of his Pokemon to Mismagius, and 2 of them to Persian. Reason I use both is Mismagius and Persian work well together. Here is an example:

Mismagius is out, so is Gengar. I have a sub, Gengar uses Shadow Ball first, killing my sub, I hit it with Shadow Ball and get it to a focus sash. I then switch to Persian, which is faster than Gengar, and it takes a Shadow Ball, with no damage obviously. Then outspeeds it to Waterpulse ftw. I know I shouldn't use 2 Pokemon to counter 1, but they do have other uses as well.
 
Too situational really, you have much bigger fish to fry. Remember, Gengar is quite diverse and it can blow by both if it is played right. Don't count on them always winning.

I'm not bashing them as sweepers, but having them both really isn't necessary. I'm sure they've both been helpful together in certain situations, but again there are much more dangerous (not to mention common) situations that should come first.
 
I understand your concern, but believe me, they pwn together. I'm not worried about either being dead weight because the other is around, so no worries there. I'm mainly focused around getting rid of Gliscor.
 
Nice mix tier team in my opinion. The Mismag/Persian combo is a first to me (and I highly respect your unique choices.) Slowking is also a rare sight (usually it's Slowbro), and doubles as being useful in TR matches.

I've always wanted to run Glis as a physical wall; pop in water and Ice resistant pokemon (like Slowking), and there you go.

The fact that Persian can pull a non-hax Hypnosis/Nasty Plot is awesome. Also, you could go Shadow Ball/HP Fighting if you wanted 100% coverage.

I'm not great with criticism, but I will say that it's pretty unique to run a team like this.
