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.
You're right about Ferro and Magearna being weakened better by Icium, but that's why there's a Magnezone on the team. Magnezone allows Kyurem to run Dragonium. However, Icium is better against stall for Clefable and OHKOing Chansey so I do often consider using it.
You're right about...

Overall the team is pretty hard to play with but definitely fun and definitely usable on...
Currently 1853 I'm really bad at replays but here's a couple from the last couple of hours
Win vs Webs - Ash-Gren sweep

Win vs Chansey Offence - CM Mega Lati sweep

Another win vs Chansey...
So basically I'm in the early stages of this new team because I wanted to use CM Mega Latias (and Z-Kyurem-B) for the first time. I don't think it's a great team but it's very fun and is capable of beating anything on the ladder.
Anyway, feel free to test it and basically any advice is good...
Conk was originally on a much earlier rendition of the team that got destroyed by Ash-Greninja (this was before Bulu and Kyurem) and Blacephalon.
Although the team has changed a lot Conk is still the secondary backbone of the team as it 1v1s the following mons: Greninja, Blacephalon...
I don't normally intentionally upload replays and only did a couple of times when I was really impressed with Kyurem so I will have to upload a few in the next few days to show off M-Diancie and how to set up for a M-Diancie late game, but here's what I found when I searched:
A 6-0 basically...
Scarf Kartana is one of the biggest threats to the team along with Specs Lele. None-scarf Kartana however isn't really a threat as it just gives Diancie an excuse to come in and hurt things.
With Scarf Kartana, Landorus-T can be used as a defensive pivot. You're right that if you use your...
This is the best SM OU team I've ever made and probably the best one I've ever played with, so here you are.
Technically the team is built around Rock Polish Diancie. (Rock Polish up in regular form, then Mega-evolve and proceed to clean up). There are certain things that need to be gone before...
Here's 252hp Modest Sub-Roost Kyurem destroying top metagame threats Ash-Greninja, Kartana, Bulu and Zapdos, please use this bad boy, it lives Smart Strikes from Kartana, Fleur Cannons from Magearna and Moonblasts from M-Diancie

It only has an 18% chance to OHKO defensive Landorus without expert belt whereas with the Expert Belt it kills 100% of the time. It also can't OHKO spdef Heatran without belt but has a 68% chance to with e-belt and the chance to OHKO Toxapex is also slightly lower with Mind Plate but pretty much...
