Um, what? The standard Latias runs 252 HP/ 4 SpA/ 252 Spd, with no defensive investment at all, and honestly it really doesn't have to work to not be "outclassed by latios." Unless you're trying to run full-on offensive latias, it plays as a defensive resource and in some situations it can pull a late-game sweep. I attribute latias's usage drop to Scizor, Dnite, and Tyranitar sitting up at the top of the usage statistics. It also suffers from a small degree of 4mss, as it needs dragon pulse, CM, and recover on the set, while it can either run HP fire to have a chance vs steels, refresh/sub to avoid status, or roar because it's, well, roar. Still, its such a cool pokemon and it's sad to see it drop down like this. Maybe I'll build a latias team sometime...
